ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Fibrous dysplasia (FD) typically presents unilaterally in the lower limbs, or in the skull, mandible, or pelvis. Bilateral presentation is rarely reported. Most cases are diagnosed in the teens with 75% of patients diagnosed before the age of 30 years. In this case, a 63-year-old woman with suspected diagnosis of malignancy was referred to 99mTc-MDP scan and found to have polyostotic FD in bilateral upper extremities. Nuclear medicine can play an important role in diagnosing FD cases with atypical presentation and help risk stratification for more aggressive transformation.
