Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign bone
lesion manifested by local pain, swelling and deformity change. We report a
case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the first thoracic vertebrae that
treated by radical removal and reconstruction. CASE REPORT: A 29-year-old man with monostotic fibrous dysplasia of
the first thoracic vertebrae was admitted to our department because of
persistent, dull back pain for 3 months. Radical removal of the first
thoracic vertebrae and reconstruction were performed in a combined
posterior-anterior approach. This patient experienced complete pain relief
without any complication. CONCLUSION: This report presents a rare case of monostotic fibrous
dysplasia of the first thoracic vertebrae, with symptoms of chronic back
pain that was successfully treated with radical excision and reconstruction,
providing a good option to the patient.
