Fibrous dysplasia is usually diagnosed in children or young adults, but mild cases may go undiagnosed until adulthood. In some cases, fibrous dysplasia may not require treatment; in other cases, certain medications and surgical procedures may be recommended.

The National Health Service treats patients with both moderate and severe forms of fibrous dysplasia. In patients who have the rare form with more than one bone affected (polyostotic), their care should involve a combination of care from both specialised endocrinology centres and orthopaedic services.
