Popis: Fibrous dysplasia is a rare slow growing benign tumor of the bone. Solitary or multiple bone involvement may ocur in the course of the disease. The maxilla and mandible are the most commonly involved bones in the head and neck. In contrast, involvement of the paranasal sinuses and nasal turbinates are rarely seen. We report a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving middle turbinate which resulting in nasal obstruction and headache.
