A case of Albright's disease in a 54-yr-old man is presented. A brief account of the nosological placement of the disease is followed by a review of the relevant literature, with particular reference to the clinical, anatomo-pathological, and aetiopathogenetic aspects. The salient points of the reported case were: 1) extensive cutaneous hyperpigmentation; 2) polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the skull, humeri, femurs, and pelvis; 3) voluminous bilateral costal cysts, with greater extension on the right; 4) right pleural effusion; 5) diabetes; 6) mental under-development; 7) 1/4 balanced translocation. |
