'''Metaphyseal fibrous defect''', abbreviated '''MFD''', is a common benign abnormality of the [[metaphysis]], classically seen in children and young adults.
They are also known as '''fibrous cortical defect''', '''fibrous metaphyseal defect''', and '''fibroxanthoma of [[bone]]'''. '''Nonossifying fibroma''' is a larger lesion but otherwise identical.

Metaphyseal fibrous defect, abbreviated MFD, is a common benign abnormality of the metaphysis, classically seen in children and young adults.

They are also known as fibrous cortical defect, fibrous metaphyseal defect, and fibroxanthoma of bone. Nonossifying fibroma is a larger lesion but otherwise identical.

General

  • Common.
  • Non-neoplastic.
  • Self-limited.
  • Skeletally immature individuals, children and adolescents.
  • Often small lesions discovered as an radiographic incidentaloma.
  • Rarely seen as a pathologic specimen (should not be biopsied).
  • May be seen in the context of Jaffe-Campanacci syndrome which may be a presentation of Neurofibromatosis Type 1.[1][2]
  • Radiographic diagnosis.

Clinical history:

  • Incidental radiographic finding.
  • Pathologic fracture.

Treatment:

  • None (spontaneously resolve by ossification).
    • Diagnosis is part of the skeletal do not touch list.[3]

Notes:

  • May resolve into a bone island.

Clinical DDx:

  • FOG MACHINES acronym for radiographically lytic bone lesions.[4]

Gross

  • Firm, granular, brown to yellow to red.

Site:

  • Metaphysis of distal femur or proximal tibia (80%).
  • Cortical.
  • Metaphysis.
  • Long bones.
  • Eccentric location.

Radiology

  • Sharply demarcated, lucent, loculated, meta-diaphyseal lesion.
  • Surrounded by a rim of sclerotic bone.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Spindle cells without cytologic atypia are arranged in a storiform pattern.
  • Scattered chronic inflammatory cells and benign giant cells.
  • Foam cells and hemosiderin deposition are present.
  • Mitoses are seen but cytologic atypia is absent.
