Fibrous dysplasia of bone is a disorder in which one or more bone lesions are present, but in which extraskeletal abnormalities not infrequently form part of the total disease complex. The etiology is unknown but it is probably a developmental fault of bony development, in which an abnormal proliferation of fibro-osseous tissue replaces only the cancellous tissue and erodes the cortex from within, eventually causing distortion and expansion. It may appear as a solitary lesion or more than one lesion in single bone, and sometimes it may be monomelic or polyostotic. This paper report a case of a monostotic fibrous dysplasia in one-month-old infant with a review of the literatures.
