Excerpt

Osteofibrous dysplasia is a benign fibrous-osseous disease that was first described by Frangenhein in 1921.1 It is a condition known by many names (monosototic fibrous dysplasia, variant of fibrous dysplasia2) and Campanacci first coined the term osteofibrous dysplasia3 in 1981.
Osteofibrous dysplasia frequently occurs in the tibia and fibula, although occurrences in other parts of the body such as the ulna and maxilla have been described.4 This condition commonly presents in the first decade of life before puberty but also has been described in the newborn.5
Most osteofibrous dysplasias have a benign course. We report a 10-year follow-up of a patient with osteofibrous dysplasia treated surgically using corrective osteotomy. This case highlights osteofibrous dysplasia's benign nature and that deformity correction can be undertaken without excision of the tumor. This case study also described use of Sofield osteotomy for deformity correction.
