Summary

Two cases of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the ethmoid are presented. This condition is of interest to the rhinologist because of the difficulty of differential diagnosis, its location, and the frequent tendency to local recurrence. The two patients presented in this paper were aged fifteen and seven respectively, with almost iddentical lesions and with very similar x-rays. A clinical picture of each patient is given, following a brief description of fibrous dysplasia. Special emphasis has been placed on the treatment which is necessarily surgical. In both cases extensive radical surgery of the lesion was performed using a combined craniofacial approach. Finally, a brief evaluation is made of these two cases.
