The term “non-ossifying fibroma of bone” was introduced by Jaffe and Lichenstein in 1942 to describe a distinctive benign lesion occuring near the ends of the long bones in young people, and the lesion was subsequently described by Hatcher as a developmental defect rather than a true tumor. This lesion was presented as a clear-cut entity on the basis of pathological, clinical and roentgenographic manifestations. The diagnosis of non-ossifying fibroma was made by the histopathological findings of the curetted tissues. The authors have seen and studied 5 cases of non-ossifying fibroma from February 1976 to September 1981. The average duration of follow up was 2.2 years, with a range from 0.8 to 5 years, and the results of treatment were as follows: l. Of the five cases, two were associated with pathologic fractures. 2. The sites of the lesions in all cases were the long bones in the lower extremity. 3 In all cases, the complaints were of only a few days or weeks duration before admission to the hospital, and no cases were discovered incidentally by roentgenographic examination. 4. Good results were obtained by treatment with curettage and bone graft.
