Conclusion
Fibrous dysplasia of the skull can cause painless, progressively expanding bone swellings that may lead to cosmetic deformities.

- The infant presented with a painless bulging mass on the skull.
- Radiographic imaging revealed an expansile lesion in the parietal bone.
Takeaway
This study talks about a baby with a hard bump on his head caused by a bone condition called fibrous dysplasia, which is usually not painful.
Methodology
The case involved clinical examination, radiographic imaging, and a series of investigations including blood tests.
Limitations
The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
Participant Demographics
A 4-month-old male infant from non-consanguineous parents.
