Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of diagnosis of NOF by plain film and CT.Methods Radiographic and CT findings in 14 patients (male 11,female 3;age range,9～51 years)with non-ossifying fibroma proved pathologically and surgically were analysed.Results The age of 9 patients (64.3%)was between 10 and 20 years.Most of non-ossifying fibromas occured in lower extremity,especially around the knee.The X-ray findings could be divided into two types:(1)Cortical type(6 cases);(2)Medullary type(8 cases).The CT signs included:(1)Local destruction of the adjacent cortex;(2)Bone septum;(3)Well-defined sclerotic edge near the medulla.Conclusion Most of the NOF of bone can be diagnosed correctly by radiography and CT.
