Fibrous Dysplasia - BONETUMOR
Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon, benign disorder characterized by a tumor-like proliferation of fibro-osseous tissue. The cause of fibrous dysplasia is unknown. Most cases of fibrous dysplasia display no particular pattern of inheritance. Fibrous dysplasia can present as an autosomal dominant disorder affecting the mandible and maxilla bones in children in their teenage years.

Fibrous Dysplasia-OrthoInfo -AAOS
The condition begins before birth. It is caused by a gene mutation that affects the cells that produce bone. Although the abnormal bone forms before birth, its presence is often not discovered until childhood, adolescence, or even adulthood.

Orthopedic Surgery for Fibrous Dysplasia: Background, Problem, Epidemiology -Medscape
Fibrous dysplasia (a term first suggested by Lichtenstein and Jaffe in 1942 ) of bone is a nonheritable disease in which abnormal tissue develops in place of normal bone. Abnormalities may involve a single bone (monostotic form; 70% of cases) or many bones (polyostotic form; 30% of cases).

Fibrous Dysplasia -NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders)
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a rare bone disorder. Bone affected by this disorder is replaced by abnormal scar-like (fibrous) connective tissue. This abnormal fibrous tissue weakens the bone, making it abnormally fragile and prone to fracture.
