Abstract:
The authors describe the rare case of fibrous dysplasia in temporal bone. Dysplasia fibrosa is a benign osseous condition that may involve one or more bones in the cranial and extracranial skeleton. Temporal bone involvement occurs in 18 per cent of craniofacial diseases. Clinical, radiographic and histologic examinations are essential to confirm the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia. Treatment of illness depends on the associated symptoms.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into...
