 | Media file 1: Image shows homogeneous loss of the normal trabecular pattern in the shaft of the humerus, with a ground-glass appearance caused by fibrous dysplasia. |
 | Media file 2: Chest radiograph shows expansion of multiple ribs involved by fibrous dysplasia that mimics pleural masses. |
 | Media file 3: Axial bone-window CT scan shows a bony mass that expands the ethmoidal sinuses; this finding is consistent with fibrous dysplasia. Note the relative homogeneous attenuation of the lesion. |
 | Media file 4: Image shows focal areas of calcification in craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. |
 | Media file 5: Coronal image shows craniofacial fibrous dysplasia extendingposteriorly into the sphenoidal sinus. |
 | Media file 6: Coronal CT scan shows craniofacial fibrous dysplasia with expansion of paranasal sinuses caused by a homogeneous mass. The inferior part of the vestibule of the nasal cavity has a soft-tissue component. |
 | Media file 7: An area of low signal on T1-weighted MR scan, within the proximal shaft of the right femur. Note the narrow zone of transition from lesion to normal marrow. |
 | Media file 8: T1-weighted axial MR scan showing low signal within the shaft of right femur in a patient with fibrous dysplasia. |
 | Media file 9: T2-weighted axial image showing a heterogeneous high signal within a fibrous dysplasia in the proximal shaft of the right femur. |
 | Media file 10: Sagittal T2-weighted image of fibrous dysplasia lesion in the shaft of the femur. Note there is some degree of expansion of the bone. |
