Fibrous dysplasia patients with and without craniofacial involvement report reduced quality of life inclusive of stigma, depression, and anxiety
This study uses data from the online self-report Fibrous Dysplasia Foundation Patient Registry and demonstrates a social psychological impact of fibrous dysplasia on adults, in those with and without craniofacial involvement and with mild and severe forms of the disease. Clinical treatment should encompass assessment of quality of life issues and ensure access to psychosocial treatment resources for all fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome patients.
