Fibrous dysplasia (FD) of monostotic type is the most common type, usually asymptomatic and becomes inactive at puberty.

She underwent surgical curettage and internal fixation and histopathology turned out to be FD. In view of this case report we present a pictorial essay encompassing various clinical aspects of FD.
