MARTINEZ CORONEL, Mathias  y  ROJAS MERCADO, Héctor. Advanced craniofacial fibrous dysplasia of bone remodeling. Salus [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.3, pp.46-50. ISSN 1316-7138.

Fibrous dysplasia is an abnormal bone growth, it causes abnormal growth or swelling of bone maturation and differentiation. Fibrous dysplasia represents 2.5% of all bone tumors and more than 7% of benign tumors. The aim of this report is to present the findings of a polyostotic fibrous dysplasia case in the craniofacial skeleton. An incisional biopsy was done to make the diagnosis, after that, a bone remodeling surgery was performed to improve the facial contour and in general to improve the quality of life of the patient.
