Anyone had a biopsy to diagnose fibrous dysplasia?

Posted by cpy @cpy, 4 days ago

I am wondering if you had a bone biopsy done to diagnose this disease? They recently found a lesion in my temporal bone in an x-ray. I am scheduled to have a craniotomy to remove part of the lesion for biopsy and have a small titanium plate inserted.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

@cpy, I can imagine that you are concerned about having craniotomy. When will you have this done?

The biopsy is in mid-April - this is after a separate biopsy of my thyroid a few days before (separate doctors). The radiologist who found it incidentally thought it might be fibrous dysplasia, but two doctors thought it might be cancer so April is biopsy month. I am hoping for the fibrous dysplasia and simply autoimmune thyroid (I have Sjogren's), but I have had cancer previously. Fingers crossed.
