Osteofibrous dysplasia
Other names: Not recommended: Ossifying fibroma, Kempson-Campanacci lesion.[1]
Osteofibrous dysplasia of tibia (lower leg)

Osteofibrous dysplasia is a noncancerous bone tumor.[1] It most often affects the large long bone of the lower leg in young children.[2][3]

It is considered a fibrovascular defect. Campanacci described this condition in two leg bones, the tibia and fibula,[4] and coined the term.

This condition should be differentiated from fibrous dysplasia of bone[1] and nonossifying fibroma.

Signs and symptoms

Osteofibrous dysplasia most often presents as a localized firm painless swelling of the large long bone of the lower leg in young children.[2] The leg may appear bent and it is possible that a break in the bone can occur.[2][5]

Cause

The cause is unknown. Rarely, cases arise in a family.[1]

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is by x-ray.[2]

Osteofibrous dysplasia may also be mistaken for fibrous dysplasia of bone, although osteofibrous dysplasia is more likely to show an immunohistochemical reaction to osteonectin, neurofibromin 1, and S-100 protein.[5]

Treatment

Generally no treatment is required. Observation is usually recommended and surgery performed if there is a significant bone deformity, severe symptoms, a potential break or a break in the affected bone, or if a definitive diagnosis is required.[1]

Outcomes

Osteofibrous dysplasia may enlarge in children under 10 years and then become smaller or resolve after puberty.[1] That this non-cancerous tumor might progress to adamantinoma is debated. Case studies suggesting a progression generally lack long term follow-up and have sampling issues.[1]

Epidemiology

It is rare, particularly over the age of 15 years.[2] The frequency of occurrence is not known precisely.[2] The tibia accounts for around 90% of cases.[2][6] The long bones of the arm are unlikely to be affected.[2] Boys and girls appear affected equally.[2]
