  • Title: Pathological fracture in non-ossifying fibroma with histological features simulating aneurysmal bone cyst.
    Author: Hoeffel C, Panuel M, Plenat F, Mainard L, Hoeffel JC.
    Journal: Eur Radiol; 1999; 9(4):669-71. PubMed ID: 10354882.
    Abstract:
    A 12-year-old-girl presented with a fracture of an osteolytic lesion of the distal radius. A 7-year-old girl presented with a fracture of an osteolytic lesion of the femoral shaft. In both cases it was a non-ossifying fibroma with fracture misdiagnosed at pathology as aneurysmal bone cyst. Fractures through non-ossifying fibromas may alter the histological pattern of the initial lesion in two ways: firstly, by the presence of blood pigments due to the fracture, and secondly, by formation of new bone. Radiological-pathological correlation is essential to avoid histological errors after pathological fracture in a non-ossifying fibroma.
