Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the cervical spine: case report and review of the literature.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Multiple lytic lesions of the spine usually represent metastatic or infectious disease processes.
PURPOSE: To describe an extremely rare presentation of an uncommon disease process.
STUDY DESIGN/SETTING: Case report/university hospital.
METHODS: We describe the management of a patient who presented with a pathological fracture of C3 and multiple lytic lesions of the cervical spine.
RESULTS: After reconstructive surgery, the final pathological diagnosis was fibrous dysplasia.
CONCLUSION: Fibrous dysplasia is rarely seen in the cervical spine and may mimic other pathological processes. The surgical and medical management of spinal fibrous dysplasia is described.
