Abstract:
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a fibro-osseous disorder that manifests with distinct or overlapping clinical patterns. FD may be monostotic or polyostotic and commonly associated with syndromes such as McCune-Albright syndrome and Mazabraud syndrome. We report a case of polyostotic FD with bilateral involvement of craniofacial bones in a distinct pattern and propose this characteristic appearance as the 'eye mask sign' on 99mTc-Methylene Diphosphonate (MDP) skeletal scintigraphy and SPECT/CT. Other unusual skeletal scintigraphic features noted in this case are also described (Figs. 1, 2, and 3).
