Cytogenetic analysis of short‐term cultures from a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia in a 14‐year‐old girl revealed multiple clonal structural rearrangements with evidence of clonal evolution. The karyotype was 46,XX,del(3)(q27),add(10)(q22), add(12)(p13)/46,idem,t(3;8)(p21;q13),add(10)(q26),der(15)del(15)(q15q22)ins(15;?)(q15;?)/46,idem,‐X, + 2,t(3;8),add(10),der(15). The finding of clonal structural aberrations suggests that fibrous dysplasia is a neoplastic lesion which develops as the result of somatic mutations.
