Abstract
Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a slow growing, benign, idiopathic skeletal disorder. The most common site of involvement is ribs followed by craniofacial bones in which the incidence is 25% to 30%.
Case Report: We report a case of 35 years old female patient with history of swelling left cheek for 10 years with complaints of nasal obstruction, epiphora with facial asymmetry involving left maxillary sinus. The final diagnosis came out to be FD with NLD (nasolacrimal duct obstruction) confirmed by radiological and histopathological examination. The lesion was removed with lateral rhinotomy approach followed by dacryocystorhinostomy for NLD obstruction.
Keywords: Fibrous Dysplasia, Epiphora, NLD, Lateral rhinotomy.
