Fibrous dysplasia is a benign, mass-forming disease of bone composed of abnormal fibrous and osseous elements that can be accompanied by endocrine dysfunction, skin pigmentation, and intramuscular myxomas.

A mathematical model for fibrous dysplasia: The role of the flow of mutant cells [PDF]
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a mosaic non-inheritable genetic disorder of the skeleton in which normal bone is replaced by structurally unsound fibro-osseous tissue. There is no curative treatment for FD, partly because its pathophysiology is not yet fully known.

Sphenoid mucocoele as a complication of fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones.
We report on a 28-year-old man with severe headache. Imaging studies included CT and MR. A large sphenoid mucocoele was demonstrated as well as findings compatible with fibrous dysplasia of the facial bones.

Mechanobiological regulation of bone remodeling -- Theoretical development of a coupled systems biology-micromechanical approach [PDF]
Bone remodeling involves the coordinated removal of bone by osteoclasts and addition of bone by osteoblasts, a process that is modulated by the prevailing mechanical environment. In this paper a fully coupled model of bone remodeling is developed, based on coupling a bone cell population model with a micromechanical homogenization scheme of bone ...

Monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving middle turbinate
Fibrous dysplasia is a rare slow growing benign tumor of the bone. Solitary or multiple bone involvement may ocur in the course of the disease. The maxilla and mandible are the most commonly involved bones in the head and neck.

Monostotic craniofacial fibrous dysplasia: report of two cases with interesting histology [PDF]
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a relatively rare osseous disease of unknown etiology, wherein the normal bone is replaced by collagen-rich tissue, comprising of fibroblasts and variably abundant immature woven bone. Clinically, it may involve a single bone or

An inverse analysis of cohesive zone model parameter values for human fibrous cap mode I tearing [PDF]
Atherosclerotic plaque failure results from various pathophysiological events, with the existence of fibrous cap mode I tearing in the arterial wall, having the potential to block the aortic lumen and correspondingly induce serious clinical conditions.The aim of this study was to quantify the interfacial strength and critical energy release rate of the

Predictive Modelling of Bone Age through Classification and Regression of Bone Shapes [PDF]
Bone age assessment is a task performed daily in hospitals worldwide. This involves a clinician estimating the age of a patient from a radiograph of the non-dominant hand. Our approach to automated bone age assessment is to modularise the algorithm into the following three stages: segment and verify hand outline; segment and verify bones; use the ...

CT Imaging of Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia
Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibroosseous bone dysplasia that can involve single (monostotic) or multiple (polyostotic) bones. Monostotic form is more frequent in the jaws. It is termed as craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, when it involves, though rarely,

Fibrous dysplasia polyostotic. Apropos of a patient
Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous condition consisting of the substitution of bone tissue for fibrous tissue; it is considered a benign pseudotumoral lesion of the skeleton and it is usually asymptomatic.
