McCune Albright syndrome: A case report with review of literature

Abstract

McCune Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare disorder comprising any two of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD), café-au-lait macules and endocrine abnormalities. We present the case of a 25-year-old male who suffered a pathologic fracture of his right femur and on evaluation was found to have MAS. Interestingly, he did not have any endocrine abnormality, but only extensive PFD and café-au-lait spots, which are uncommon. Furthermore, worth noting was that he has suffered pathologic fractures before too and was hospitalized on three occasions, but never diagnosed so far. We also present a brief review of literature regarding this rare syndrome and the spectrum of its manifestations.
