Abstract: Fibrous dysplasia is a bone disorder of unknown origin in which normal bone is replaced with fibrotic tissue and disorganized bone trabeculae leading to deformity, pain and functional impairment. The clinical features depend on the anatomic location. The temporal bone is rarely affected. We present the case of a female patient with extensive polyostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the left temporal bone, sparing the middle ear and the otic capsula revealed by a retroauricular mass. A surgical management was preconized for this case, and recurrence of the mass was marked shortly after surgery. We present this case of extensive polyostotic form of temporal bone FD sparing the middle ear and the otic capsula to supplement the rare literature data concerning this rare entity and propose the therapeutic abstention regarding its high potential of recurrence.
