Bone symptoms associated with softening - ANSWER Bowing
Tinnitus and Hearing Loss

Sabre Shin
Blade of grass.
Acetabular Protrusion
Basilar Invagination
Mosaic Pattern

matches the pattern found in osseous dysplasia.
ANSWER: Brim sign in the pelvis or blade of grass in the femur.
Paget's complication: Spinal stenosis - Compressive neuropathy.
Anaemia

Two types of FD: monostotic and polyostotic.
ANSWER Monostotic Fibrous Dysplasia (solitary lesion) is most usually detected

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia affects many bones, including the femur, cranium,
tibia, humerus, ribs, fibula, radius, and ulna.
▪ Vertebral involvement is infrequent.
When present, it affects the vertebral body rather than the arch and is typically
observed in the polyostotic type of the disease.
Expansile Rib Lesion: Fibrous Dysplasia or METS.
(Extrapleural Sign)
FD inside the Mandible = Cherubism radiographic characteristics - ANSWER The
face expands and the eyes retreat.
The rind of sclerosis - ANSWER clearly defines the lesion.
Smoky, hazy ground glass look with sclerosis rind.
