| ABSTRACT |
|
Malignant transformation of fibrous dysplasia is a rare condition and the incidence is estimated at 0.4% for fibrous dysplasia and 4% for Albright's syndrome. The authors did not find a reported case of malignant change at skull base around the orbit in the literature. We experienced a case of fibrous dysplasia, in which neurologic symptoms were aggravated due to malignant change around the orbit, and report its favorable outcome obtained with total surgical removal. |
