Fibrous Dysplasia of the Palate: Report of a Case and Review of Palatal Swellings

It causes bone pain, deformities, and pathological fractures. Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a sporadic benign skeletal disorder that can affect one bone (monostotic form) or multiple bones (polyostotic form). In this paper, we present case of a monostotic fibrous dysplasia on the hard palate of 14-year-old girl and a tabular review of common palatal swellings.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/179853
