Abstract:
Fibrous dysplasia is a slowly progressive, benign disorder characterized by fibrous tissue replacement of skeleton and may affect solitary or multiple bones. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia mainly occurrs in the rib, femur and tibia, however, rarely in the hand. We report a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia confined to the 2nd metacarpal bone with findings of plain radiographs and MR imaging.
