Q
Fibrous dysplasia?
A
A benign developmental anomaly
Radiographic appearance varies with age
Early lesions tend to be radiolucent with well defined borders
As lesion matures more bone is laid down leading to a mottled radiopacity - so called orange peel pattern
Borders of the lesion blend into the adjacent normal bone
