A Rare Case of Fibrous Dysplasia of Clavicle

Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare entity 0f long bones and these lesions are uncommon in childhood, generally illustrated in the mandible and the maxilla. Tibia is among the long bones in which it typically appears as a painless lump or anterior bowing. Here, we would like to report a rare case of fibrous dysplasia of clavicle in a 15 year old female who presented to us with painful swollen area over her left clavicle region. On radiograph there was visible lytic lesion in the middle 3rd of left clavicle with subtle periosteal reaction. Histopathological features suggested benign fibro-osseous proliferation, favouring fibrous dysplasia. To the best of our knowledge, there are very few cases of fibrous dysplasia affecting clavicle to be reported in the literature.
