  • McCune-Albright syndrome: This is a specific form of fibrous dysplasia that involves multiple bones and is associated with endocrine abnormalities and skin pigmentation changes.

  • Jaffe-Lichtenstein syndrome: This term is used when fibrous dysplasia affects the bones of the skull, facial bones, and long bones of the limbs.

  • Monostotic fibrous dysplasia: This refers to the condition when only one bone is affected by fibrous dysplasia.

  • Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia: This term is used when multiple bones are affected by fibrous dysplasia.

  • Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia: This term specifically describes fibrous dysplasia affecting the bones of the skull and face.

McCune-Albright syndrome is not entirely a synonym, but it happens that having this syndrome means having FD too. It can be called Jaffe-Lichtenstein disease, and that is its synonym.

I was wondering if there was a spot to clarify the type of FD we have.  There is monostotic, polyostotic and McCune-Albright syndrome with polyostotic (which i have) ?  I did not see McCune-Albright syndrome on the list.
