Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Fibrous dysplasia is a rare, benign bone disorder of unknown cause.
  • It typically affects multiple bones but can present in a single bone (monostotic).
  • Isolated involvement of the temporal bone is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • This report describes three distinct cases of monostotic fibrous dysplasia.
  • Each case uniquely featured extensive involvement of the entire temporal bone.
  • Clinical and radiological findings were analyzed for each patient.

Findings:

  • Monostotic fibrous dysplasia can present as a rare, isolated lesion of the temporal bone.
  • The disorder demonstrated capacity for complete temporal bone infiltration in these cases.
  • Diagnostic imaging is crucial for identifying the extent of temporal bone involvement.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering fibrous dysplasia in the differential diagnosis of temporal bone lesions.
  • Emphasizes the need for thorough radiological assessment to determine the full extent of the disease.
  • Contributes to understanding the rare manifestations of fibrous dysplasia in the craniofacial skeleton.
