Pearl of the Day 10/25/14 “FD represents approximately 7% of all benign tumour-like bone lesions. However, the spine is affected in only 2.5% of cases, and FD of the spine is very rarely observed without there being disease elsewhere in the body . Spinal involvement occurs mostly in the polyostotic form of FD; it is unusual for it to occur in the monostotic form. When present in the elderly with multiple vertebral lesions, a biopsy may be indicated because metastatic disease or multiple myeloma may simulate a benign non-aggressive process.” CT and MRI of fibrous dysplasia of the spine.
