    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Genetics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Fibrous dysplasia is a rare, benign bone disorder of unknown etiology.
    • It can manifest as monostotic (one bone) or polyostotic (multiple bones) forms.
    • The femur is frequently affected, especially in the polyostotic variant.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a patient with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
    • Classic radiographic and clinical features were observed.
    • A distinct unilateral predilection for the affected bones was noted.

    Findings:

    • The study illustrates typical polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
    • Femoral involvement is a hallmark of the polyostotic form.
    • Unilateral presentation is a common characteristic.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the presentation of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is crucial for diagnosis.
    • This case reinforces the typical involvement patterns of the femur.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of fibrous dysplasia is warranted.
