Fibrous Dysplasia in the Epiphysis of the Distal Femur
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibrous dysplasia is a common benign skeletal lesion that may involve a single bone or multiple bones. Although fibrous dysplasia can affect any bone, monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the long bone typically occurs in the diaphysis or metaphysis. We report a very rare case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the epiphysis of the distal femur in a young man.

In this paper, we present a rare case of polyostotic FD in a 13-year-old girl with unilateral multiple epiphyseal lesions arising in the femur, the tibia, and the fibula with the growth p...

متن کاملBenign Fibrous Histiocytoma with Cystic Change of the Femur: a Case Report
Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a rare primary skeletal tumor, with reported incidence of 1% of all surgically managed benign bone tumors (1). BFH is composed of fibroblasts and histiocytes that are arranged in a storiform pattern, which has almost identical histological features to non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) (2). Therefore, BFH is distinguishable from NOF by radiologic and clinical backg...
