Treatment observation

Osteofibrous dysplasia is a rare benign condition that afflicits the long bones.[1]

It is also known as ossifying fibroma of long bones[1] and congenital osteitis fibrosa.

General

Features:[2]

  • Benign fibro-osseous lesion.
  • Rare.[1]

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.

Notes:

  • The diagnosis depends on the ratio of fibrous to epithelial tissue which can vary within each particular tumour.
    • Due to the above ample tissue is required for accurate histologic diagnosis.
  • Current discussion regarding the definition of an OFD-like adamantinoma.
    • As of 2010, WHO requires 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.
