Abstract :
McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare disease, characterized by triad of cafe-au-lait spots, endocrinopathies and fibrous dysplasia. These bone lesions are usually revealed during the first decade of life, together with pain, pathological fractures and secondary deformities. A 40-year-old female patient presented an opaque lesion at the left mandibular side of face, in a cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) view, during the implant placement evaluations. The patient had experienced precocious puberty and had undergone hysterectomy. Unilateral cafe-au-lait spots were present on patient’s left side of the face. There was no expansion in intraoral examination. The oral mucosa was also normal. No asymmetry was detected. The analysis of sample histopathology confirmed fibrous dysplasia. In this patient we preferred following up. Afterwards, total surgical lesion resection can be performed. After a long-term follow-up, the area may receive an implant.
