Fibroma (Subscribe)  

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: ...

Along with fibrous cortical defects, non-ossifying fibroma, represents the most common benign lesion of the skeletal system. The incidence is estimated at 30-40% in skeletally immature individuals. Multiple lesions are seen in 8% of patients (most have the underlying diagnosis of neurofibromatosis). Almost indistinguishable from fibrous cortical defects, with...

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; ...

The fibrous cortical defect is a common benign bone tumour. In some locations, particularly the neck of femur, it can be regarded as a normal variant. In that location, it is usually below 1cm. The lesion has the usual narrow endosteal zone of transition between normal and abnormal bone. The...
