An unusual case of fibrous dysplasia of the maxillary sinus

Fibrous dysplasia of the maxillary sinus might initially become apparent because of facial asymmetry. It can be differentiated from other osseo-odontogenic dysplasias radiographically by its occupancy of the affected sinus and by its diffuse, ground-glass, radiopaque appearance; it can be further confirmed with histologic findings. It is normally self-limiting in growth and does not usually become malignant.
