Abstract

Fibrous Dysplasia (FD) is a rare developmental bone disorder in which fibro-osseous tissue replaces normal bone tissue. FD can manifest as either monostotic or polyostotic. Polyostotic FD is often associated with McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). Treatment of FD varies due to its diverse clinical manifestations. Bisphosphonate therapy, with its antiresorptive properties, is commonly used as part of the treatment. Two commonly used bisphosphonates are pamidronate and alendronate. However, literature on the use of intravenous zoledronate is limited. In this report, we share our experience using zoledronate to treat polyostotic fibrous dysplasia in a 10-year-old girl.
