Background: Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon skeletal disorder in which normal bone and marrow are replaced with fibro-osseous tissue. The disease comprises 2.5% of all bone tumors and 7.5% of all benign bone neoplasm. It is the progressive, slowly developing disease and the optimum treatment remains unclear in many cases. Aim: In this study, the authors report their experience in the surgical treatment of four cases of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. Cases presentation: The study involved 4 patients with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. There were 3 men and a woman. The patients were 10, 17, 20 and 8 years old. No patient had a focal neurological deficit. The CT scan appearance was compatible with Fibrous dysplasia in all patients. The site of disease was frontal in one case and parietal in the other 3 cases. Cosmetic surgical treatment was performed in all patients. Cranioplasty was performed in one patient and planned for the other three. Conclusion: Fibrous Dysplasia is a benign slow growing disease that may cause as well as clinical symptom and aesthetical discomfort. Radical resection, if possible, is the only technique to obtain resolution of the disease.
