Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a form of fibrous dysplasia affecting more than one bone.

[2] Fibrous dysplasia is a disorder where bone is replaced by fibrous tissue, leading to weak bones, uneven growth, and deformity.

[3] McCune–Albright syndrome includes polyostotic fibrous dysplasia as part of its presentation.

[4] When polyostotic fibrous dysplasia manifests in the long bones, limping results; when it manifests in the face, asymmetric growth of the face can result.
