Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a skeletal developmental anomaly, which is non-hereditary in origin and idiopathic in nature. It is a benign fibro-osseous disease that affects one or more bones. It usually affects unilaterally and is seen in the posterior region. Approximately 0.5% of untreated cases show the malignant transformation. We report the case of a 35-year-old female patient with FD involving the maxilla. The clinical diagnostic approach, different imaging modalities, and histological examination methods for definitive diagnosis have been elaborated.
