Met a gentleman at Walmart tonight, and asked him “is that a shiner?!” He had a huge bulge under his eye along the cheekbone.
He told me it’s genetic and it’s fibrous dysplasia. insert foot in mouth lol.
I found this from Peat, but it doesn’t help me much:
“An infection or abscess is perhaps the most common cause behind a mass that is mistaken for a tumor. In addition, cysts may arise from inflamed joints or tendons as a result of injury or degeneration. Inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, can also result in soft tissue masses. Even metabolic conditions, such as hyperlipidemia (high blood fat levels), can cause masses to form that may look like tumors. Baker’s cyst behind the knee, gouty deposits about the elbow and vascular aneurysms are examples of non-tumor masses that require a medical assessment.
Similarly, there are many conditions that can cause changes in a bone that may resemble a tumor. Bone infection (osteomyelitis) can cause such changes. Metabolic conditions such as hyperparathyroidism can cause tumor-like areas to form. These will go away if the underlying problem with the parathyroid gland is treated. Other metabolic or congenital conditions of bone such as Paget's Disease, fibrous dysplasia, osteopetrosis, melorrheostosis, fibroosseous ossificans progressiva, and tumoral calcinosis have a characteristic appearance and require a unique treatment approach.”
There has to be a cure.
