OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to report the clinical characteristics, radiological imaging methods, and management of patients with fibrous dysplasia. MATERIALS- METHODS: A retrospective review of 12 patients. Distribution of the cases according to the clinical and radiological features was described. RESULTS: The age range was from 9 to 55. Sphenoid bone was the most common involved area in our cases. Simple cystic degeneration was observed in three cases and aneurysmal bone cyst in one case. CONCLUSION: Radiologic findings are characteristic but not pathognomonic. Our management is to follow nonsymptomatic cases or surgical intervention to stop progression of a lesion or to resolve compression symptoms.
