Osteofibrous dysplasia is treated with marginal resection with or without bone grafting, depending on the size of the lesion and the extent of bony involvement. However, due to the high rate of recurrence in skeletally immature individuals, this procedure is usually postponed until skeletal maturity. [citation needed]
If left untreated, leg deformities, joint stiffness, leg-length discrepancy and pain will persist. [3] Diagnosis is done clinically and through X-ray imaging, with numerous classifications based on the severity of bowing and presence of fracture or intraosseous lesion. [4] Pathogenesis of CPT remains unclear.
The vast majority of clinically significant bone lesions are detectable by age 10 years, with few new and almost no clinically significant bone lesions appearing after age 15 years. [8] Total body scintigraphy is useful to identify and determine the extent of bone lesions, and should be performed in all patients with suspected fibrous dysplasia ...
Shown is an osteochondroma surgically extracted from a ten-year-old patient. The bone is the cylindrical stalk at the bottom, about 1/2 inch long, the two diagonal growths are cartilage. This morphology is typical of a tibial bone spur. Osteochondromas are benign lesions and do not affect life expectancy. [13]
Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP), also known as Nora's lesion, [4] is a type of non-cancerous bone tumor belonging to the group of cartilage tumors. [1] [2] [5] It is generally seen in the tubular bones of the hands and feet, [6] where it presents with a rapidly enlarging painless lump in a finger or toe.
Medical condition Osteochondritis dissecans A large flap lesion in the femur head typical of late stage Osteochondritis dissecans. In this case, the lesion was caused by avascular necrosis of the bone just under the cartilage.

The lesion may arise de novo or may arise secondarily within a pre-existing bone tumor, because the abnormal bone causes changes in hemodynamics. An aneurysmal bone cyst can arise from a pre-existing chondroblastoma, a chondromyxoid fibroma, an osteoblastoma, a giant cell tumor, or fibrous dysplasia. A giant cell tumor is the most common cause ...
It generally occurs in the metaphysis of long bones in children and adolescents. [2] Typically, there are no symptoms unless there is a fracture . [ 2 ] It can occur as part of a syndrome such as when multiple non-ossifying fibromas occur in neurofibromatosis , or Jaffe–Campanacci syndrome in combination with cafe-au-lait spots , intellectual ...
