“…Finally, benign lesions such as angiofibroma and chrodoma can have similar X-ray appearances in the sphenoid sinus, but do not involve the remainder of the sphenoid bone. not progress after puberty (Cohen and Rosenwasser, 1969;Sharp, 1970). Supporting this theory is the report of Ramsey et al (1968) describing 10 adolescent patients whose fibrous dysplasia went untreated, with serious progression of the disease seen in only 1 patient.…”

Fibrous dysplasia involving the sphenoid sinus and the entire left sphenoid bone, manifested clinically by left proptosis and frontal headaches, was disagnosed in a 13‐year‐old black male. The case is unusual since it is only the third reported instance of fibrous dysplasia of the sphenoid sinus, and because the disease became clinically apparent at the onset of puberty in the patient. Since previous reporters have suggested that fibrous dysplasia remains stable or progresses slightly after the onset of puberty, the patient was not treated with radical surgery, but instead was observed closely. At this point, one year following admission, the patient's proptosis has disappeared and his symptoms are markedly improved.

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign localized bone disorder of unknown aetiologyin which endocrinopathies, abnormal pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes may formpart of the disease. Five cases involving the facial and cranial bones are described to illustrate the various presentations and radiological appearances including computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Some of these cases demonstrate that serial radiology may be adequate for diagnosis and management without the necessity for histological confirmation. The place of limited surgical treatment for the craniofacial sites is debated.

“…The term was introduced by Lichtenstein in 1938, although it had been described earlier under different names. Tembe (1970) and Sharp (1970) separately reviewed the disease as it affects the temporal bone, reporting 13 cases of monostotic disease. Since then a very comprehensive survey covering more than forty years has been conducted by Nager et al (1982) who concluded that only 69 cases of fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone had been published in the world literature and added three cases of their own in this review.…”
