General

Common
Non-neoplastic
Self-limited
Skeletally immature individuals, children and adolescent
Often small lesions discovered an radiographic incidentaloma

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.
