Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia is a common benign fibro-osseous disease involving the flat bones, often affecting the bony structures of the skull and facial skeleton. Primary occurrence or secondary involvement of the nasal turbinate is not a common manifestation of the disease. Involvement of the inferior turbinate generally does not have specific management-related issues; however, involvement of the middle turbinate, especially the lateral lamella, can predispose to surgical morbidity during endoscopic surgical management. Clinical presentation, management and features of the disease on CT imaging are presented.
