Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare bening pathology, generally asymptomatic affecting the bone tissue. Due to the gradual replacement of the bone tissue by fibrous tissue, aesthetic and functional bone alterations are produced. A review of the literature on FD is made and it is reported a clinical case of a 33-year-old man presenting facial deformity as a result of the slow and progressive growth.of the jaw.
