The lateral cortex of the proximal tibial metaphysis contains a tiny, oval radiolucent lesion known as a cortical fibrous defect. Fibrous cortical abnormalities are normally benign, asymptomatic, and self-limiting. Therefore, no particular therapy is usually necessary. However, when the cyst enlarges and grows, it causes a pathological fracture of the bone.
Fibrous Cortical Defect and Non-ossifying Fibroma Imaging
Non-ossifying fibroma is a benign tumor that affects the bone cells. This article describes the imaging of fibrous cortical defects and non-ossifying fibroma.
