Abstract:
Fibrous dysplasia of the bone (FDB) is a benign congenital but non-hereditary bone disorder in which normal bone is replaced by pseudofibrous tissue containing an immature osteogenesis. It is frequently fortuitously discovered during a radiological or nuclear medicine scan. The main goal of this article is to give useful clinical and imaging information for the diagnosis of FDB in the daily practice of Nuclear Medicine.
