Objective To investigate radiological diagnosis of ossifying fibroma of long bone.Methods The imaging features in 16 patients with ossifying fibroma of long bone confirmed by pathology and surgery were analysed.All 16 patients underwent radiographic examinations,of them,CT was performed in 8 patients,MR was performed in 3 patients.Results In 16 cases,ossifying fibroma was accurately diagnosed by X-ray in 11/16 cases,by CT in 7/8 cases.MR imaging was commonly superior to CT in showing the relationship between the lesions and isthmus.Conclusion CT scan can improve the diagnosis of ossifying fibroma of long bone,and is better in demonstrating the extension of fesions than X-ray plain film,which is important for guiding clinical treatment,and MRI can be used as an important supplemental method.
