Fibrous Dysplasia, Osteofibrous Dysplasia, and Adamantinoma

  • Chapter
Imaging of Bone Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Key Points

• Monostotic fibrous dysplasia is more common than polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.

• Fibrous dysplasia can be encountered in any decade of life.

• Endocrine dysfunction and soft tissue myxoma are associated with fibrous dysplasia.

• A fibrous dysplasia-like lesion with cortical destruction suggests low-grade central osteosarcoma or malignant transformation.

• Osteofibrous dysplasia usually occurs in the first two decades of life.

• Osteofibrous dysplasia almost exclusively affects the tibia and fibula.

• Adamantinoma is a rare low-grade neoplasm that most commonly occurs in the second and third decades of life.

• Adamantinoma has a strong predilection for the tibia.
