Surgery Surgery is recommended for fibrous dysplasia to relieve intractable bone pain, to improve mobility that may be impaired due to skeletal deformity, to facilitate the healing of fractures, to relieve local pressure on the spinal cord, spinal nerves, or brain, and to treat the unusual complication of bone sarcoma.
Bone Deformity: Because fibrous dysplasia can affect any bone, bone deformity can occur anywhere in the skeleton.
The combination of fibrous dysplasia, hormonal disturbances, and skin pigmentation is called McCune-Albright syndrome, named for Dr.

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia may occur with precocious puberty or other hypersecretory endocrinopathies, most frequently involving growth hormone, thyroid hormone, or cortisol.
McCune-Albright: polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone, cafe-au-lait spots with rough edges, precocious puberty, other gland problems, no two cases the same.
Arthur Dawkins,
Astro-physicist

Recent studies indicate that fibrous dysplasia may be caused by a chemical abnormality in a protein in the bone that leads to an overgrowth of bone cells that produce fibrous tissue.
These data indicate that fibrous dysplasia of bone is a disease of cells in the osteogenic lineage, related to the upregulation of geneexpression and its effects on bone cell function.
Fibrous dysplasia and McCune-Albright syndrome together may represent a spectrum of disease resulting from abnormal expression of a subtype of common regulatory proteins called G proteins.
