Introduction Non-ossifying Fibroma (NOF) is a benign fibrogenic lesion that is the most common benign bone tumor in childhood related to dysfunctional ossification other names metaphyseal fibrous defect nonosteogenic fibroma cortical desmoid fibrous cortical defect fibromatosis fibroxanthoma Epidemiology demographics common in children 5-15 years old 30% of children with open physis have a NOF locations metaphysis of long bones 80% in lower extremity distal femur > proximal tibia > proximal fibula > distal tibia uncommon in proximal femur, proximal humerus Pathophysiology possibly due to abnormal osteoclastic resorption at the subperiosteal level during remodeling of the metaphysis Associated conditions Jaffe-Campanacci syndrome congenital syndrome of multiple non-ossifying fibromas and cafe au lait pigmentation mental retardation heart, eyes, gonads involved neurofibromatosis familial multifocal NOF ABC Presentation Symptoms asymptomatic and found incidentally painless may present with pathologic fracture Imaging Radiographs diagnostic metaphyseal eccentric "bubbly" lytic lesion surrounded by sclerotic rim cortex may be expanded and thin as bone grows migrates to diaphysis lesions enlarge (1-7cm) lesions become sclerotic as patient approaches skeletal maturity avulsion of adductor magnus insertion in the posteromedial aspect of the distal femur may produce a similar looking lesion. CT quantitative CT shown to be useful in predicting fracture risk Studies Histology classic characteristics are fibroblastic spindle cells in whirled or storiform pattern (helicopter in wheat field) fibroblastic connective tissue background numerous lipophages and giant cells hemosiderin pigmentation occasional ABC component Differential Giant cell tumor painful rare in skeletally immature no mineralization Osteosarcoma painful irregular zone of bony destruction with less defined zone of transition periosteal reaction mineralized soft tissue mass Treatment Nonoperative observation indications first line of treatment most lesions resolve spontaneously and progressively reossify as child enters 2nd and 3rd decade of life technique radiographs at 6, 12months, then annually until reossified casting indication pathologic fracture can be treated as per the fracture alone (long leg casting for distal femur pathologic fx) Operative curettage and bone grafting indication symptomatic and large lesion increased risk of fracture shown on quantitative CT Differentials & Groups "Bubbly" lytic lesion on xray Hemosiderin seen on Histology Treatment is Observation alone (1) NOF • • • ABC • UBC • PVNS • Fibrous dysplasia • Enchondroma • Osteochondroma • Eosinophillic granuloma • Paget's • ASSUMPTIONS: (1) assuming aymptomatic and no impending fracture IBank Location Xray Xray CT B.
