This paper will present the major clinical findings in the study of fibrous dysplasia of bone (FD) that have occurred in the 10 years since the last meeting on Paget's disease of bone and FD, which took place at the NIH in 1996. Accompanying monographs will address the molecular and cellular underpinnings that lead to FD (Weinstein and Bianco, respectively), the radiographic findings (Sundarm), the surgical (Stanton), and medical treatment of children (Glorieux) and adults (Chaprulat). The clinical problems and natural history of the disease vary according to the anatomical locations at which the disease occurs.
