Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disorder of bone that is uncommon in the head and neck region. Herein, we present a rare case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the right temporal bone and thyroid cartilage in a 19-year-old male. This unique location necessitates close surveillance due to the proximity to the airway and the potential for malignant degeneration.
