A non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) is a benign bone tumor of the osteoclastic, giant cell-rich tumor type. [1] 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]
[1] [3] [4] Type II resections involve removal of the peri-acetabular region. [1] [3] [4] Type III resections involve removal of the ischial and/or pubic region. [1] [3] Resection of pelvic bone typically requires subsequent reconstruction to ensure stability of the hip joint, particularly in internal hemipelvectomy. [1]
The most common bone tumor is a non-ossifying fibroma. [4] Average five-year survival in the United States after being diagnosed with bone and joint cancer is 67%. [5] The earliest known bone tumor was an osteosarcoma in a foot bone discovered in South Africa, between 1.6 and 1.8 million years ago. [6]
Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a non-malignant tumor defined histologically as inclusions of “osteoclast-like” multinucleated giant cells, hemosiderin, and macrophages. [1] This histology can present one of 2 clinically distinct ways. TGCT tumors often develop from the lining of joints (also known as synovial tissue).

It is opposed to for example palliative surgery which is intended for symptom relief rather than complete removal of cancer tissue. Immunohistochemistry with SOX10 (staining the cell nuclei of melanocytes ) of lentigo maligna , showing malignant melanocytes all the way to the resection margin (inked in yellow, at left), conferring a diagnosis ...
It is a benign, small tumor located in the skin of the distal areas of the legs and, less commonly, the arm; it has occurred mostly in females. EWSR1-SMAD3-positive fibroblastic tumor was named based on the finding that its tumor cells express a EWSR1-SMAD3 fusion gene. Since its initial description in 2018, a total of 15 cases have been ...
An osteoid osteoma is a benign (non-cancerous) bone tumor that arises from osteoblasts and some components of osteoclasts. It was originally thought to be a smaller version of an osteoblastoma. Osteoid osteomas tend to be less than 1.5 cm in size. The tumor can be in any bone in the body but are most common in long bones, such as the femur and ...
