Osteofibrous dysplasia is a rare and benign disease that originates from the tibia or fibula. The symptoms of osteofibrous dysplasia include painless enlargement and bowing of the tibia and pain occurring in the presence of pathological fracture. Herein a male infant who was admitted with redness and swelling on the right leg and diagnosed as pathological tibia fracture due to left tibia osteofibrous dysplasia on the third day of life was presented. To our knowledge, this is the earliest presentation of osteofibrous dysplasia with a pathological fracture in a neonate. Therefore, it must be suspected in neonatal bone fractures.

Article Synopsis
  • Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare, benign bone lesion primarily found in the tibia, characterized by the growth of fibrous tissue and variable bone involvement, making diagnosis challenging.
  • A case study highlights a young patient with OFD-related pain and introduces a new vacuum-assisted bone harvester technique for more effective biopsy and curettage.
  • This innovative method improves the ability for surgeons to obtain tissue samples and perform necessary procedures in cases of OFD.

Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion that occurs most commonly in the tibia of children. Tibial involvement leads to bowing and predisposes to the development of a fracture which exhibit significantly delayed healing processes, leading to prolonged morbidity. We previously identified gain-of-function mutations in the MET gene as a cause for OFD.

Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare disease that may lead to tibial lesions. Currently, no gold standard method exists for the treatment of OFD. Recurrence is the most severe complication in OFD.

Adamantinoma (AD) is a rare, slow-growing primary malignant bone tumor characterized by a biphasic morphology of clusters of epithelial cells and spindle cell osteofibrous components. A strong relationship between AD and osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) has been proposed, while fibrous dysplasia (FD) has been rarely associated with AD. We present an AD case that was followed and histologically evaluated 3 times over 6 years with different morphological patterns.
