Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Craniofacial fious dysplasia is one of the benign fio-osseous lesions which affect the bones of the craniofacial complex, involving the maxilla and mandible. Fious dysplasia is a skeletal developmental disorder of the boneforming mesenchyme that causes a defect in osteoblastic differentiation and maturation. Fious dysplasia shows predilection of 5% of all bone tumors and around 7% of all benign tumours. This article presents a unique case of unilateral fious dysplasia of the upper and lower jaws, along with the skeletal deformity having shepherd&rsquo;s crook appearance. The clinical features including imaging studies and advanced radiography are described for obtaining a definitive diagnosis</p>
