Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a slowly progressive bony disorder where normal bone is replaced by abnormal fibroosseous tissue. Its monostotic variety in the temporal bone is very rare and such a case is presented here. Computed tomography (CT) may be adequate for the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients. Limited surgery should only be considered in cases of symptomatic disease.
