  • Title: Monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the proximal femur and liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor: which one is which?

    Journal: J Bone Miner Res; 2006 Dec; 21(12):1955-8. PubMed ID: 17002568.
    Abstract:
    Clinical, histological, and genetic studies of two cases of isolated fibro-osseous lesions of the femur in adults show the overlap between monostotic fibrous dysplasia (MFD) of the proximal femur and the so-called liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor. The two cases highlight how the incomplete understanding of the natural history of MFD may result in diagnostic pitfalls or incorrect classification of individual lesions.
