Abstract:

A 21-year-old man with an 18-year history of progressive, and deforming, monomelic fibrous dysplasia with massive cartilaginous differentiation (fibrocartilaginous dysplasia) is described. A review is made of all prior reported examples of this entity in the English language medical literature. The radiologic and histologic differential diagnoses are described, distinguishing the lesion from chondrosarcoma and from fibrocartilaginous mesenchymoma.
