Recurrent Non-Ossifying Fibroma in Shaft of Distal Radius- A Rare Case.
Introduction: Non-ossifying fibroma are is a common benign lesions found in children. Usually, they are found in cortical bone in metaphysis, but they can also be seen in cancellous bone. Theses lesions are known to regress spontaneously. Usually, it is asymptomatic and an incidental finding on radiograph. No intervention is required. Here, we are reporting a case of symptomatic non-ossifying fibroma of radius with unusual characteristics which required surgical intervention.
Case Report: An 11-year-old skeletally immature girl presented to us two 2 years back with pain and swelling over the right forearm without any restriction of moments and other constitutional symptoms. She was diagnosed to have non-ossifying fibroma and had underwent surgery for the same 4years back. Radiographic and higher imaging studies suggested non-ossifying fibroma. Since the lesion was painful and the child had difficulty in carrying heavy objects, we decided to intervene. Tumour tissue was thoroughly curetted and the defect was filled with artificial bone substitute. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of non-ossifying fibroma and post-operative radiograph showed some residual tumour which was noted even at one 1-year follow-up X-ray. On 3-years follow-up,the patient was symptom-free with no residual lesion and complete incorporation of the artificial bone substitute.
Conclusion: Though Although most of the NOF regress completely without intervention, large and symptomatic lesions in unusual location require to be surgically treated. The natural history of the lesion - spontaneous regression also aids in the management.
