Özet

Objective: Fibrous dysplasia is a rare bony disorder in which normal bone is replaced by abnormal fibro-osseous tissue. It often involves the long bones, craniofacial bones, ribs, and pelvis. Approximately 30% of monostotic fibrous dysplasia lesions are found in the cranial or facial bones. Aim of this study to present a case of anterior mandible and its surgical treatment. Case: 15-year-old female patient referred to our department with painless swelling at the anterior mandible. The clinical examination showed both the labial and lingual bone expansion. The patient had complaints of facial asymmetry due to expansion. The radiographic examination revealed a lesion with both radiopaque and radiolucent features showing a “ground-glass” appearance. Surgical trimming of the bony expansion under general anesthesia discussed with the patient’s parents and they accepted the procedure. Conclusion: Fibrous dysplasia is rarely seen in the mandible anterior. Surgical technique should be chosen carefully between radical surgery and conservative surgery in adolescences.
