• Asymptomatic

  If asymptomatic, it does not require treatment. [radiopaedia.org]

  As a result, most complications result from fracture, deformity, functional impairment and pain. [1] Disease occurs along a broad clinical spectrum ranging from asymptomatic, incidental lesions to severe disabling disease. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Most affected individuals only have one bone involved and often there are no associated symptoms (asymptomatic). Many times, FD is discovered incidentally when x-rays are performed for another reason. [rarediseases.org]

  It may range from small asymptomatic areas detectable only by bone scan to markedly disfiguring lesions that can result in frequent pathologic fractures and impingement on vital nerves. [emedicine.medscape.com]
