Abstract

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a disease with clinical features such as fibrous dysplasia in which normal bone tissue is replaced with abnormal fibrous tissue, abnormalities in the endocrine system, and cafe-au-lait spots on the skin. Although MAS patients are generally known to have reduced bone healing ability, postoperative healing after invasive surgical extraction is still not clearly known due to its relatively rare occurrence. In this report, a 25-year-old female patient, who had been diagnosed with MAS and had a history of abnormal bone healing after fractures of her extremities, underwent surgical extraction of the mandibular third molar with surrounding bone removal. Postoperatively, the patient showed favorable soft tissue and bone healing at the surgical site without abnormal findings such as newly developed fibro-osseous lesions, postoperative infection, or osteomyelitis.
