McCune‐Albright Syndrome was first described in 1937. It is a rare condition with an estimated prevalence of between 1 in 100,000 and 1 in 1,000,000 and occurs sporadically in all races. It is defined by at least two features of: fibrous dysplasia, café au lait pigmentation and autonomous endocrine hyperfunction. This case presentation is of a young woman with McCune‐Albright Syndrome with severe cranio‐facial involvement. We discuss our management of this difficult problem thus far with staged surgical procedures to obtain both functional and cosmetic benefits.
