Fibroma (Subscribe)  

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare, slow-growing bone tumor of chondroblastic derivation.1, 2, 3, 4 Jaffe and Lichtenstein first described the condition in 1943.5 They differentiated this benign lesion from chondrosarcoma, a much more common, but malignant, tumor.

Discussion: - locally painfull benign cartilaginous lesion of bone; - it occurrs in adolescents; - located in metaphyses of major long bones; - this lesion most often presents as an active stage 2 lesion which is locally destructive...

Discussion: - solitary, beinign fibrous tumor of sof tissue; - it may occur at any age; - lesions arise as a slowly enlarging soft tissue mass; - palmer and planter aspects of the hands and feet are common...

Fibromas are well-circumscribed, slow-growing, benign fibrous lesions. Although they can occur de novo in the soft tissues, fibromas most commonly present approximating a tendon sheath. For the purpose of this discussion, fibroma of tendon sheath (FTS) will represent all solitary fibromas of soft tissue as the pathology and behavior are...

Phemister provided the first description of fibrous cortical defect (FCD) in 1929. Sontag and Pyle reported a radiologic description in 1941,1 and in 1942, Jaffe and Lichtenstein described clinical and anatomic aspects and the natural history.2 Also called nonossifying or nonosteogenic fibroma, this benign tumor probably is the most frequent bony...

Discussion: - also known as fibrous cortical defect; - most common bone lesion (40% children); - it results from defect of periosteal cortical bone development which leads to failure of ossification; - natural history: ...

Authors Scott D. Weiner, MD Thomas Scharschmidt, MD; Akron, OH Plantar fibromatosis is a condition characterized by the development of firm, poorly circumscribed fibrous nodules along the plantar aponeurosis. Dupuytren’s contracture of the palmar fascia is a pathologically similar well-known and described entity, although the plantar form is...

- refers to multiple fibrous benign tumors which are locally aggressive; - these are more aggresive than solitary fibroma; - these lesions often develope in the proximal limbs or the trunk; ...
