Fifteen-year follow-up of a family with inherited craniofacial fibrous dysplasia

In a report in 1985, we described the clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features of fibrous dysplasia in a mother and two of her three daughters. It was proposed that the bimaxillary involvement and pathologic nature of the lesions, in association with their familial occurrence, represented an example of inherited fibrous dysplasia. The current report examines the progression of the pathology over the last 15 years, and details the clinical course of treatment, which has involved surgical, prosthetic, and orthodontic procedures.
