Treatment observation

Osteofibrous dysplasia, also known as congenital osteitis fibrosa, is a rare benign condition that afflicits the bones of the leg (fibula, tibia).

General

Features:[1]

  • Rare, benign fibro-osseous lesion.

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:

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
