McCune-Albright syndrome includes polyostotic fibrous dysplasia as part of its presentation. When polyostotic fibrous dysplasia manifests in the long bones, limping results; when it manifests in the face, asymmetric growth of the face can result.One treatment that has been used is bisphosphonates.

    Albright's disease, also known as McCune-Albright syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by early onset of puberty, cafe-au-lait (coffee with milk) spots on the skin, and fibrous dysplasia of the bones. This disease occurs due to mutations in the GNAS1 gene, which regulates the production of a protein involved in various hormone receptors. The mutation seen in Albright's disease is not inherited, but occurs randomly during a person's development.
