Fibrous dysplasia is a benign disorder of unknown etiology. It represents a disturbance of normal bone development - a defect in osteoblastic differentiation and maturation that originates in the mesenchymal precursor of the bone. It is characterized by slow progressive replacement of bone by abnormal isomorphic fibrous tissue. Temporal bone involvement is extremely rare. We report an unusual case of fibrous dysplasia presented like a solitary osteochondroma.
