Summary:A forty-six-year-old female with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with “cafe-au-lait” spots on the skin (Jaffe type) was reported. The involved lesions were as follows: parietal bone, maxilla, mandible, sphenoid bone, ribs, bilateral humeruses, ulna, radius, pelvis, bilateral femurs and tibia. 199mTc scintigraphy revealed good reflection of the affected lesions of bone tissue. Histological findings of the specimen obtained from the maxilla showed scattered arrangement of irregular trabecular woven bones in the mature connective tissue without rimming of osteoblasts, and was classified as Stage II after Gold. Clinical examination showed slighi elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase (14.9 K.A. unit), but the others including endocrinological analysis, were all within the normal range.
