Abstract

Fibrous dysplasia is an idiopathic fibro-osseous lesion of the skeletal bones. These uncommon osseous lesions usually manifest within the first two decades of life. Its occurrence during infancy is extremely uncommon, and we describe here a case of fibrous dysplasia involving the orbit in a 9-month-old male child.
