| Metaphyseal fibrous defect | |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
|
| |
| Synonyms | Nonossifying fibroma |
| Clinical history | Incidental radiograhic finding |
| Radiology | Lucent defect |
General
- Common
- Non-neoplastic
- Self-limited
- Skeletally immature individuals, children and adolescent
- Often small lesions discovered as an radiographic incidentaloma
- Rarely seen as a pathologic specimen (should not be biopsied)
Synonyms
- Nonossifying fibroma (larger but otherwise identical)
- Fibrous cortical defect
- Fibrous metaphyseal defect
- Fibroxanthoma of bone
Site
- Metaphysis of distal femur or proximal tibia (80%)
- Cortical
- Metaphysis
- Long bones
- Eccentric location
Gross
Firm, granular, brown to yellow to red
Microscopic
Spindle cells without cytologic atypia are arranged in a storiform pattern with scattered chronic inflammatory cells and benign giant cells. Foam cells and hemosiderin deposition are present. Mitoses are seen but cytologic atypia is absent.
Differential Diagnosis
- Giant cell tumour of bone (epiphyseal location, occurs in adults)
Relevant Diagnostic Groups
- Clinical
- Pathologic
- Giant cell lesions of bone.
- Spindle cell lesions of bone.

Stains
Not relevant.
IHC
Not relevant
Molecular
Not relevant
Syndromes
Jaffe-Campanacci syndrome [3]
Clinical history
- Incidental radiographic finding
- Pathologic fracture
Prognosis
- Ideally should not be biopsied
- Radiographically characteristic and benign
- Ideally should not be treated or even biopsied
- Spontaneously resolve by ossification
- May resolve into a 'bone island'
Radiographic findings
Sharply demarcated, lucent, loculated, meta-diaphyseal lesion surrounded by a rim of sclerotic bone
