Fibrous Dysplasia
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an uncommon disorder of the skeleton that is rarely cancerous (less than 1 percent). This disorder results in fibrous bone-like tissue that replaces normal, healthy bone, causing the affected areas to be more susceptible to fractures (broken bone).

McCune Albright Syndrome
McCune-Albright syndrome is a genetic condition that affects your bones, skin and endocrine system, causing café-au-lait skin pigmentation, scar tissue forming on bones (fibrous dysplasia) and irregular function of growth-regulating glands that produce hormones. Treatment alleviates symptoms of the condition and leads to a normal life expectancy, but there isn’t a cure.
