==General== [1]

  • Rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion
Osteofibrous dysplasia
Diagnosis in short
Molecular clonal chromosomal abnormalities
Signs tibial swelling, bowing
Prevalence rare
Radiology lytic bone lesion
Prognosis self limited
Other may be related to adamantinoma
Clin. DDx adamantinoma, fibrous dysplasia, metaphyseal fibrous defect, osteosarcoma
Treatment observation
  • Alternate names
    • Congenital osteitis fibrosa
  • Location
    • Cortex of the tibial diaphysis
  • Pathophysiology
    • May be either a clonal neoplastic lesion or a developmental dysplasia.
    • May be related to adamantinoma
  • Presentation
    • Lower leg swelling
    • Pain
    • Tibial bowing
  • Radiology
    • Intracortical lytic lesion
    • Surrounding zone of sclerosis
    • Seldom progresses radiologically
  • Clinical DDX
    • Adamantinoma - usually older (teens-twenties), may have soft tissue extension
    • Metaphyseal fibrous defect - metaphyseal location
    • Fibrous dysplasia
  • Prognosis
    • Self limited
  • Population
    • Children
    • First 2 decades of life
    • Median 9.5 years

Gross

Microscopic

The lesion has a zonal architecture with a center of immature bone surrounded by more mature lamellar bone. The central spicules of woven bony trabeculae are lined by a layer of osteoblasts. The backgound is a loose and storiform fibrous tissue.

  • Histologic DDX
    • Adamantinoma - epithelial elements are prominent and atypical
    • OFD-like adamantinoma (see below)
    • Fibrous dysplasia - Bony trabeculae lack osteoblastic rimming, not zonal
  • Tips
    • Current discussion regarding the definition of an OFD-like adamantinoma.
      • WHO as of 2010 required absence of keratin-positive cells for OFD
      • Some accept as OFD lesions with scattered isolated keratin positive spindled cells.
      • Gray zone and varying interpretations of the boundry of OFD, OFD-like adamantinoma and adamantinoma.
    • The diagnosis depends on the ratio of fibrous to epithelial tissue which can vary within each particular tumor.
    • Therefore, ample tissue is required for accurate histologic diagnosis

Stains

  • Not relevant

IHC

  • Keratin positive - isolated cells accepted by some.

Molecular

Clonal chromosomal abnormalities

  • Trisomies of chromosomes 7, 8, 12,21, and/or 22
