Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia
ICD-10 Q78.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibrous tissue, leading to structural weakness and deformities. This condition can affect multiple bones (polyostotic) and is often associated with other abnormalities, such as skin pigmentation changes and endocrine dysfunction. In children, it may present with pain, fractures, and deformities in the musculoskeletal system, including scoliosis and limb length discrepancies. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, which reveal characteristic lesions. Management may involve orthopedic interventions, pain management, and monitoring for complications. The condition can also be part of McCune-Albright syndrome, which includes additional features such as precocious puberty and café-au-lait spots. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate treatment and management of associated conditions.
Detailed growth and development assessments, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Children presenting with bone pain, fractures, or deformities requiring orthopedic evaluation.
Consideration of growth patterns and potential impact on future development.
Genetic testing results, family history, and any syndromic associations.
Cases where fibrous dysplasia is part of a genetic syndrome requiring counseling.
Understanding the genetic basis and implications for family members.
Used for pain management in patients with joint involvement due to fibrous dysplasia.
Document the indication for the procedure and any imaging findings.
Orthopedic specialists may perform this procedure.
Common symptoms include bone pain, deformities, fractures, and in some cases, skin pigmentation changes associated with McCune-Albright syndrome.
