RESUMEN

Fibrous dysplasia is a sporadically occurring benign skeletal disease characterized by the replacement of normal bone tissue with excessively proliferating cellular fibrous tissue. It can occur in a monostotic or polyostotic form. Depending on the location, number and size of the lesions, the clinical picture can vary from an asymptomatic disease to a severe disability. Typical problems are bone pain, bone deformities and pathological fractures. In combination with endocrinopathies and/or skin manifestations (café au lait spots), it is referred to as the McCune-Albright syndrome. The diagnosis is mainly carried out radiologically and the bony lesions are characterized by a cloudy, frosted glass-like aspect. Causal treatment is not possible. Orthopedic treatment includes pain relief, bone stabilization, deformity correction and, if necessary, lesion cleansing as well as the prevention of progression by means of antiresorptive medication. Pathological fractures are preferably stabilized with intramedullary osteosynthesis procedures.

RESUMEN

Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome (FD/MAS) frequently involves the craniofacial skeleton. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia lesions exhibit diverse imaging characteristics on multimodality evaluation, utilizing radiographs, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography (18F-NaF PET). A multimodal imaging classification of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia lesions may offer clinical insights into the types of lesions that are (1) prone to progression, (2) amenable to intervention (i.e., pharmacological or surgical), or (3) associated with symptoms such as pain. In this prospective, preliminary single site study of 15 patients with FD/MAS, the heterogeneity of craniofacial lesions (N = 35) was assessed using a combination of 18F-NaF PET, MRI, and CT. A k-means clustering algorithm was used to categorize lesions based on imaging characteristics. Clustering analysis revealed three types of lesion based on the magnitude of the regional 18F-NaF standardized uptake values (SUV), signal intensities on T1-weighted and fluid-sensitive sequences, and appearance on CT (lucent, sclerotic, and/or ground glass). This preliminary study provides a foundation for future longitudinal natural history or treatment studies, where the prognostic value of baseline craniofacial fibrous dysplasia imaging characteristics and clinical symptomatology can be further evaluated.

RESUMEN

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare, non-inherited, congenital bone disorder which may be monostotic or polyostotic. The polyostotic form may rarely present in syndromic forms when associated with extra-skeletal manifestations. Mazabraud syndrome is a rare syndrome consisting of polyostotic FD presenting with intramuscular myxomas. McCune-Albright syndrome is recognised by polyostotic FD, precocious puberty and 'café au lait' spots. This report describes an adult patient with Mazabraud syndrome and a child with McCune-Albright syndrome. Contribution: Radiographic findings are typical with bowing deformities, sclerotic, lucent or mixed lesions and bony expansion, often with endosteal scalloping. MRI is often non-contributory and may actually mimic a more aggressive process. Early detection and correct diagnosis allow for early preventative treatment and rehabilitation to prevent devastating neurological sequelae and disability.

RESUMEN

Craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions represent a diverse spectrum of pathologic conditions where fibrous tissue replaces healthy bone, resulting in the formation of irregular, woven bone. They are more commonly diagnosed in young people, with treatment strategies dependent on clinical behavior and skeletal maturity. This article discusses the examples of craniofacial fibro-osseous lesions, based on the latest classifications, along with their diagnostic criteria and management.

RESUMEN

Peripheral precocious puberty (PPP) refers to the early onset of sexual maturation that is independent of central nervous system control. The extensive differential diagnosis includes congenital and acquired causes. Presenting features depend on which class of sex steroids is involved, and diagnosis rests on hormonal and, if indicated, imaging and/or genetic studies. Effective treatment exists for nearly all causes of PPP. Ongoing research will advance our therapeutic armamentarium and understanding of the pathophysiologic basis of these conditions.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian Sertoli cell tumors represent a subset of sex cord stromal tumors and are exceedingly rare in prepubertal children. Here, we report a girl with vaginal bleeding due to a Sertoli cell tumor who was originally thought to have McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). CASE PRESENTATION: A previously healthy girl presented at age 2 years 6 months with breast development and vaginal bleeding. On exam, she had Tanner 4 breasts, Tanner 1 pubic hair, estrogenized vaginal mucosa, and a café-au-lait macule. Laboratory studies revealed an elevated estradiol with suppressed gonadotropins and negative tumor markers. Her bone age was advanced by more than 3 years. Pelvic ultrasound (US) revealed an enlarged uterus and a slightly larger left compared to right ovary. She was started on tamoxifen for presumed MAS. A repeat pelvic US 1 month later showed a heterogenous mass in the left ovary which was subsequently resected. Pathology revealed a Sertoli cell tumor, lipid-rich variant. Germline sequencing revealed a pathogenic STK11 variant, diagnostic for Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). CONCLUSION: The findings in our patient were strikingly similar to those encountered in MAS. To our knowledge, our patient is the youngest ever reported to present with precocious puberty due to a Sertoli cell tumor in the setting of PJS.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The lack of effective understanding of the pain mechanism of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) has made the treatment of pain in this disease a difficult clinical challenge, and new therapeutic targets are urgently needed to address this dilemma. OBJECTIVE: This paper summarizes the novel mechanisms, targets, and treatments that may produce pain in MAS and fibrous dysplasia (polyfibrous dysplasia, or FD). METHODS: We conducted a systematic search in the PubMed database, Web of Science, China Knowledge Network (CNKI) with the following keywords: "McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS); polyfibrous dysplasia (FD); bone pain; bone remodeling; G protein coupled receptors; GDNF family receptors; purinergic receptors and glycogen synthase kinase", as well as other keywords were systematically searched. Papers published between January 2018 and May 2023 were selected for finding. Initial screening was performed by reading the titles and abstracts, and available literature was screened against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS: In this review, we systematically analyzed the cutting-edge advances in this disease, synthesized the findings, and discussed the differences. With regard to the complete mechanistic understanding of the pain condition in FD/MAS, in particular, we collated new findings on new pathways, neurotrophic factor receptors, purinergic receptors, interferon-stimulating factors, potassium channels, protein kinases, and corresponding hormonal modulation and their respective strengths and weaknesses. CONCLUSION: This paper focuses on basic research to explore FD/MAS pain mechanisms. New nonneuronal and molecular mechanisms, mechanically loaded responsive neurons, and new targets for potential clinical interventions are future research directions, and a large number of animal experiments, tissue engineering techniques, and clinical trials are still needed to verify the effectiveness of the targets in the future.

RESUMEN

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin, expressed in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues, that is regulated by the Gsα/cAMP pathway. In bone, it regulates osteogenesis and stimulates RANKL secretion and osteoclast formation in osteolytic tumors such as Multiple Myeloma. Fibrous dysplasia (FD) of bone is a rare genetic disease of the skeleton caused by gain-of-function mutations of the Gsα gene in which RANKL-dependent enhanced bone resorption is a major cause of bone fragility and clinical morbidity. We observed that BDNF transcripts are expressed in human FD lesions. Specifically, immunolocalization studies performed on biopsies obtained from FD patients revealed the expression of BDNF in osteoblasts and, to a lower extent, in the spindle-shaped cells within the fibrous tissue. Therefore, we hypothesized that BDNF can play a role in the pathogenesis of FD by stimulating RANKL secretion and bone resorption. To test this hypothesis, we used the EF1α-GsαR201C mouse model of the human disease (FD mice). Western blot analysis revealed a higher expression of BDNF in bone segments of FD mice compared to WT mice and the immunolabeling pattern within mouse FD lesions was similar to that observed in human FD. Treatment of FD mice with a monoclonal antibody against BDNF reduced the fibrous tissue along with the number of osteoclasts and osteoblasts within femoral lesions. These results reveal BDNF as a new player in the pathogenesis of FD and a potential molecular mechanism by which osteoclastogenesis may be nourished within FD bone lesions. They also suggest that BDNF inhibition may be a new approach to reduce abnormal bone remodeling in FD.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Reducing delayed diagnosis is a significant healthcare priority for individuals with rare diseases. Fibrous Dysplasia/ McCune Albright Syndrome (FD/MAS) is a rare bone disease caused by somatic activation mutations of NASA. FD/MAS has a broad clinical phenotype reflecting variable involvement of bone, endocrine and other tissues, distribution and severity. The variable phenotype is likely to prolong the diagnostic journey for patients further. AIM: To describe the time from symptom onset to final diagnosis in individuals living with FDMAS. METHODS: We used the UK-based RUDY research database ( www.rudystudy.org ), where patients self-report their diagnosis of FD/MAS. Participants are invited to complete the diagnostic journey based on the EPIRARE criteria. RESULTS: 51 individuals diagnosed with FD/MAS were included in this analysis. Among them, 70% were female, and the median age was 51.0 years (IQR 34.5-57.5]. 12 (35%) individuals reported McCune Albright Syndrome, 11 (21.6%) craniofacial and 11(21.6%) for each of poly- and mono-ostotic FD and 6 (11.8%) did not know their type of FD/MAS. Pain was the commonest first symptom (58.8%), and 47.1% received another diagnosis before the diagnosis of FD/MAS. The median time to final diagnosis from the first symptom was two years with a wide IQR (1,18) and range (0-59 years). Only 12 (23.5%) of individuals were diagnosed within 12 months of their first symptoms. The type of FD/MAS was not associated with the reported time to diagnosis. Significant independent predictors of longer time to final diagnosis included older current age, younger age at first symptom and diagnosis after 2010. CONCLUSION: Individuals with FDMAS have a variable time to diagnosis that can span decades. This study highlights the need for further research on how to improve diagnostic pathways within Orthopaedic and Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)/Maxillofacial services. Our data provides a baseline to assess the impact of novel NHS diagnostic networks on reducing the diagnostic odyssey.

RESUMEN

Background: Fiber dysplasia is a complex condition that presents with various clinical manifestations, such as deformity, dysfunction, pathological fractures, and endocrine disorders. McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare subtype of fiber dysplasia. This article reports a case of atypical McCune-Albright syndrome in a patient with a femoral neck fracture. Case presentation: A patient with atypical McCune-Albright syndrome sustained a right femoral neck fracture and underwent multiple treatments, including total hip replacement, intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid, oral calcium supplementation, right supracondylar osteotomy, orthopedic surgery, plate and screw internal fixation for a left femoral shaft fracture, and removal of the right femoral plate. The patient also developed a submaxillary infection complicated by mandibular osteonecrosis. Conclusion: Patients with MAS may experience rare complications as a result of their unique condition, regardless of whether they receive drug or surgical treatment. Therefore, personalized drug regimens and feasible surgical options are necessary.

Cuando está asociada a desequilibrios endocrinos y manchas café con leche, forma parte del síndrome de McCune-Albright. El presente reporte de caso muestra las características clínicas y radiológicas de la región bucofacial de un paciente adulto portador del síndrome de McCune-Albright. Las lesiones en los maxilares afectan la morfología y causan disfunción. A nivel dentario, los cambios producidos se traducen en maloclusión y defectos estructurales. En los estudios radiológicos se observaron cambios con densidad mixta y el patrón de vidrio esmerilado.

ABSTRACT Fibrous dysplasia is a benign and progressive bone disease of genetic basis that can affect one or several bones. Its high incidence in the pediatric age served as a basis for it to be previously considered exclusive to this stage; however, there are reports to date that show its development and later growth in the second decade of life. When associated with endocrine imbalances and café-au-lait spots, it is part of the McCune-Albright syndrome. The present case report shows the clinical and radiologic features of the oral-facial region of an adult patient with McCune-Albright syndrome. Lesions in the jaws affect the morphology and cause dysfunction. At the dental level, the changes produced result in malocclusion and structural defects. Radiological studies showed changes with mixed density and ground glass pattern.

RESUMEN

GNAS-activating somatic mutations give rise to Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS). The low specificity of extra-skeletal signs of MAS and the mosaic status of the mutations generate some difficulties for a proper diagnosis. We studied the clinical and molecular statuses of 40 patients referred with a clinical suspicion of FD/MAS to provide some clues. GNAS was sequenced using both Sanger and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). We were able to identify the pathogenic variants in 25% of the patients. Most of them were identified in the affected tissue, but not in blood. Additionally, NGS demonstrated the ability to detect more patients with mosaicism (8/34) than Sanger sequencing (4/39). Even if in some cases, the clinical information was not complete, we confirmed that, as in previous works, when the patients were young children with a single manifestation, such as hyperpigmented skin macules or precocious puberty, the molecular diagnosis was usually negative. In conclusion, as FD/MAS is caused by mosaic variants, it is essential to use sensitive techniques that allow for the detection of low percentages and to choose the right tissue to study. When not possible, and due to the low positive genetic rate, patients with FD/MAS should only be genetically tested when the clinical diagnosis is really uncertain.

RESUMEN

CONTEXT: Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) is a rare genetic disorder. Incidence and prevalence are not well-studied. Epidemiological research is complicated by the rarity of FD/MAS, absence of registries, heterogeneous presentation, and possibly asymptomatic phenotype. FD/MAS may present with FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia, of which the epidemiology is also unclear. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate incidence and prevalence of FD/MAS and FD/MAS-related hypophosphatemia. METHODS: This cohort study based on the nationwide Danish National Patient Registry from 1995-2018, included patients identified by ICD-10 codes M85.0 (monostotic FD [MFD]) and Q78.1 (polyostotic FD [PFD]/MAS). Incidence rates and prevalence were calculated and stratified by sex, age, calendar period, and diagnosis code. Cases were screened for FD-associated hypophosphatemia by diagnosis code E.83 (disorder of mineral metabolism) and dispatched vitamin D analogues. RESULTS: A total of 408 patients were identified, 269 with MFD (66%), 139 with PFD/MAS (34%), comparable between sexes. Incidence of FD/MAS demonstrated increasing secular trend with a rate of 3.6 per 1 000 000 person-years (95% CI: 2.9, 4.5) in 2015-2018. Incidence peaked between age 11 and 20. Prevalence of FD/MAS increased over time to 61.0 (95% CI: 54.6, 67.4) per 1 000 000 persons in 2018. The incidence rate of MFD was 1.5-fold that of PFD/MAS in the first decade, rising to 2.5-fold in the last decade. No FD/MAS cases were registered with diagnosis code or treatment for hypophosphatemia. CONCLUSION: FD/MAS is rare, diagnosis peaks during adolescence without sex predominance, and MFD is most prevalent. Hypophosphatemia may be underdiagnosed and undertreated, or it may be underregistered, comparing this study to literature.

RESUMEN

CONTEXT: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) results in fractures, pain, and deformities. Abnormal osteoprogenitor cells overproduce FGF23, leading to hyperphosphaturia in most patients and frank hypophosphatemia in a subset. Studies suggest hypophosphatemia is associated with increased FD-related morbidity. However, the relationship between phosphorus and skeletal complications has not been investigated, and the optimal therapeutic target has not been determined. OBJECTIVE: Characterize the impact of serum phosphorus on FD-related morbidity and identify levels associated with increased skeletal complications. METHODS: Natural history study with 240 subjects at a clinical research center who had ≥1 fasting phosphorus level, determined as age- and sex-adjusted Z-scores. Subjects were categorized based on frank hypophosphatemia (Z-score ≤ -2; n = 48); low-normophosphatemia (> -2 to ≤ -1; n = 66); and high-normophosphatemia (> -1 to ≤ 2; n = 125). Main outcomes were fractures, orthopedic surgeries, and scoliosis. RESULTS: Subjects with frank and low-normophosphatemia had increased fracture and surgery rates vs high-normophosphatemia. The prevalence of moderate to severe scoliosis was similarly higher in the frank and low-normophosphatemia groups. In a subanalysis of patients matched for Skeletal Burden Score ≥35, fracture and surgery rates remained higher in the frank hypophosphatemia group, suggesting association between phosphorus and skeletal complications is not explained by differences in FD burden alone. CONCLUSION: Both frank hypophosphatemia and low-normophosphatemia are associated with increased FD-related complications. This supports FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia as a driver of skeletal morbidity, which may impact a larger proportion of the FD/McCune-Albright syndrome population than previously recognized. These findings enable clinicians to identify at-risk patients and will inform development of prospective studies to determine optimal therapeutic targets.

RESUMEN

CONTEXT: Pain is a poorly managed aspect in fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) because of uncertainties regarding the clinical, behavioral, and neurobiological underpinnings that contribute to pain in these patients. OBJECTIVE: Identify neuropsychological and neurobiological factors associated with pain severity in FD/MAS. DESIGN: Prospective, single-site study. PATIENTS: Twenty patients with FD/MAS and 16 age-sex matched healthy controls. INTERVENTION: Assessments of pain severity, neuropathic pain, pain catastrophizing (pain rumination, magnification, and helplessness), emotional health, and pain sensitivity with thermal quantitative sensory testing. Central nervous system (CNS) properties were measured with diffusion tensor imaging, structural magnetic resonance imaging, and functional magnetic resonance imaging. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Questionnaire responses, detection thresholds and tolerances to thermal stimuli, and structural and functional CNS properties. RESULTS: Pain severity in patients with FD/MAS was associated with more neuropathic pain quality, higher levels of pain catastrophizing, and depression. Quantitative sensory testing revealed normal detection of nonnoxious stimuli in patients. Individuals with FD/MAS had higher pain tolerances relative to healthy controls. From neuroimaging studies, greater pain severity, neuropathic pain quality, and psychological status of the patient were associated with reduced structural integrity of white matter pathways (superior thalamic radiation and uncinate fasciculus), reduced gray matter thickness (pre-/paracentral gyri), and heightened responses to pain (precentral, temporal, and frontal gyri). Thus, properties of CNS circuits involved in processing sensorimotor and emotional aspects of pain were altered in FD/MAS. CONCLUSION: These results offer insights into pain mechanisms in FD/MAS, while providing a basis for implementation of comprehensive pain management treatment approaches that addresses neuropsychological aspects of pain.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), café-au-lait skin pigmentation, and endocrine dysfunction. Extensive FD in the craniofacial region can present significant challenges in terms of disease control and carries a high risk of permanent visual impairment. METHODS: We present a case of medically and surgically resistant FD that required nine optic nerve decompressions. RESULTS: The condition was ultimately controlled with the use of the denosumab agent. CONCLUSION: The case highlights the importance and potential efficacy of denosumab in resistant FD management, particularly in cases involving sensitive organs.

RESUMEN

Only 30% of patients with McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS)-associated acromegaly achieve biochemical control under first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (fg-SRLs), while pegvisomant fails to normalize insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) in >20% of cases. Here, we report all the patients with MAS-associated acromegaly treated with pasireotide long-acting release (LAR) in our center. Pasireotide LAR 20 mg/month resulted in rapid and long-term IGF-I normalization in patients #1 and #3. Patient #3 was resistant to fg-SRLs, while patient #1 was also controlled on fg-SRLs. In patient #2, resistant to fg-SRLs and uncontrolled on pegvisomant 40 mg/day combined with cabergoline 0.5 mg/day, pegvisomant was replaced with pasireotide LAR 40 mg/month, resulting in the near normalization of IGF-I levels. All 3 patients developed intermittent impaired fasting glucose, without the need for glucose-lowering drugs. Thus, pasireotide LAR is clearly useful as third-line therapy, and potentially even as second-line therapy, in MAS-associated acromegaly.

RESUMEN

Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental anomaly that affects bone maturation and remodeling, generating replacement of medullary and cortical bone by a disorganized and immature fibro-osseous matrix, which makes the sufferer susceptible to bone pain, skeletal deformities, and pathological fractures. This is a condition that, when associated with cutaneous hyperpigmentation and endocrinological disorders, forms the classic triad of McCune-Albright syndrome, a rare multisystemic pathology formed by postzygotic somatic mutations of the GNAS gene. Fibrous dysplasia can even cause loss of vision, hearing, or difficulty breathing. The severity of these manifestations is associated with the type of treatment, which can be conservative or surgical. The surgical approach is adapted to each particularity and it aims mainly to resolve functional restrictions or correct aesthetic deformities through bone plasty. The present work aims to report the case of a McCune-Albright syndrome patient with deforming craniofacial fibrous dysplasia that triggers respiratory compromise. After clinical and tomographic evaluation, it was decided to remove and reshape the bone affected in the maxilla through the Weber-Ferguson approach and the mandible through the modified Newman approach. The case progressed satisfactorily, with an improvement in the respiratory condition and a reduction in facial asymmetry.

RESUMEN

Precocious puberty (PP) means the appearance of secondary sexual characters before the age of eight years in girls and nine years in boys. Puberty is indicated in girls by the enlargement of the breasts (thelarche) in girls and in boys by the enlargement of the testes in either volume or length (testicular volume = 4 mL, testicular length = 25 mm, or both). Two types of PP are recognized - namely central PP (CPP) and peripheral PP (PPP). This paper aims to describe the clinical findings and laboratory workup of PP and to illustrate the new trends in the management of precocious sexual maturation. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-independent type (PPP) refers to the development of early pubertal maturation not related to the central activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. It is classified into genetic or acquired disorders. The most common forms of congenital or genetic causes involve McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), familial male-limited PP, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The acquired causes include exogenous exposure to androgens, functioning tumors or cysts, and the pseudo-PP of profound primary hypothyroidism. On the other hand, CPP is the most common and it is a gonadotropin-dependent form. It is due to premature maturation of the HPG axis. CPP may occur as genetic alterations, such as MKRN3, DLK1, or KISS1;as a part of mutations in the epigenetic factors that regulate the HPG axis, such as Lin28b and let-7; or as a part of syndromes, central lesions such as hypothalamic hamartoma, and others. A full, detailed history and physical examination should be taken. Furthermore, several investigations should be conducted for both types of PP, including the estimation of serum gonadotropins such as luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones and sex steroids, in addition to a radiographic workup and thyroid function tests. Treatment depends on the type of PP: Long-acting GnRHa, either intramuscularly or implanted, is the norm of care for CPP management, while in PPP, especially in congenital adrenal hyperplasia, the goal of management is to suppress adrenal androgen secretion by glucocorticoids. In addition, anastrozole and letrozole - third-generation aromatase inhibitors - are more potent for MAS.

RESUMEN

El síndrome de McCune-Albright (SMA) es un trastorno genético heterogéneo que se caracteriza por la tríada de displasia fibrosa (DF) poliostótica, manchas café con leche y múltiples endocrinopatías hiperfuncionales. En general, se diagnostica clínicamente. De la tríada, 2 de los hallazgos son suficientes para hacer el diagnóstico. La DF craneofacial es un término que se usa para describir la displasia fibrosa, que se localizaba en el esqueleto craneofacial y es común en pacientes con SMA. El quiste óseo aneurismático (QOA) es una lesión ósea no neoplásica infrecuente que afecta principalmente a los huesos largos y las vértebras, y puede ocurrir muy raramente en los huesos craneofaciales. Los QOA pueden ocurrir como enfermedades óseas secundarias en asociación con varios tumores óseos benignos y malignos y con displasia fibrosa. El QOA secundario que ocurre en la DF craneofacial es excepcional. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 21 años tratada en nuestro centro de un quiste óseo aneurismático orbitario derecho asociado a SMA y realizamos una revisión de la literatura relevante (AU)

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder that is characterized by a triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), café au lait spots (CAL), and multiple hyperfunctional endocrinopathies. In general, it is diagnosed clinically. From the triads, 2of the findings are enough to make the diagnosis. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia is a term that is used to describe the fibrous dysplasia, which was localized at the craniofacial skeleton and is common in MAS patients. Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare non-neoplastic bone lesion that involves mostly the long bones and vertebrae and may occur very rarely in the craniofacial bones. ABCs may occur as secondary bony pathologies in association with various benign and malignant bone tumors and with fibrous dysplasia. Secondary ABC occurring in craniofacial FD is extremely rare. We present the case of a 21-year-old patient treated at our center for a right orbital aneurysmal bone cyst associated with MAS and provide a review of the relevant literature (AU)
