    Non Ossifying Fibrous Defect

    Uploaded by

    Md Ahsanuzzaman Pinku
    Non-ossifying fibroma is a benign bone lesion consisting of fibrous tissue that is most commonly found in the long bones of children. It appears as an oval, radiolucent area on x-rays but does not have a cystic composition. While usually asymptomatic, it can occasionally cause pathological fractures. Treatment involves curettage and bone grafting only if the lesion is large or has fractured repeatedly.

    NON-OSSIFYING FIBROMA (FIBROUS CORTICAL

    DEFECT)
    Defination:
    Non – ossifying fibroma is a developmental defect in which a nest of
    fibrous tissue appears within the bone and persists for some years
    before ossifying.
    Epidemiology: This, the commonest benign lesion of bone,
    Site: commonest sites are the metaphyses of long bones
    Cllinical feature:
     It is usually asymptomatic
     Almost always found in children as an incidental finding on x-
    ray.
     May present with pathological fracture
    X-ray findings
     More or less oval radiolucent area surrounded by a thin
    margin of dense bone;
     views in different planes may show that a lesion is adjacent
    to or within the cortex
    Pathology:
     Although it looks cystic on x-ray, it is a solid lesion consisting of
    unremarkable fibrous tissue with a few scattered giant cells.
     However, it sometimes enlarges to several centimetres in
    diameter and there may be a pathological fracture.
     There is no risk of malignant change.
    Treatment:
     Treatment is usually unnecessary without complication
     If the defect is very large or there is a repeated fracture, it can be
    treated by curettage and bone grafting.
    Prognosis: Recurrence is rare.
