Ossifying Fibroma と病理診断された3例

抄録

We reported three patients with a tumorlike lesion that has been diagnosed as ossifying fibroma pathologically. The lesions in our patients developed in childhood and were located in the diaphysis of the tibia. In two patients the lesion recurred after a curettage or subperiosteal resection with bone graft. In three patients, the radiographic appearance of the lesions suggested fibrous dysplasia, but histopathologic evaluation demonstrated findings similar to ossifying fibroma or osteofibrous dysplasia. Radiologic and pathologic recognition of this entity is necessary for proper treatment.
