A 34 year old male was admitted to the maxillofacial surgery unit to diagnose a rapidly growing, painless lesion with swelling in the right buccal region and increasing facial deformity for three months. Computed tomography (CT) images revealed an inhomogeneous, ill-defined lesion in the maxilla and maxillary sinus. Despite the lesion, the patient had no clinically significant neurological abnormalities. The lesion was diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia on the basis of preoperative tissue biopsy. The treatment of choice was complete surgical excision with immediate reconstruction and fixation of the orbital floor by implanting an alloplastic titanium mesh implant. Then, the patient underwent a secondary reconstruction of tissue defects using a personalized, 3D-printe.. Read More»
