Fibrous dysplasia is rare benign sporadic non inherited disease that can affect any bone, but a predilection for ribs, craniofacial and lower limb bones is described in the literature. Only few cases concerning the humerus have been reported. Radiographically, typical lesions appear as an area of radiolucent ground glass matrix. Here, we present a case report of a fibrous dysplasia located in the humerus revealed by chronic elbow pain in a 63 years-old woman. The imaging findings are displayed along with a literature review. When it’s symptomatic, fibrous dysplasia could be revealed by common symptoms such as pain and bone deformity. Therefore, the radiologist plays a crucial role in diagnosis assessment, also in monitoring the lesion for early detection of complications especially malignant transformation.
