Description

Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion found in long bones, and congenital OFD in neonates is very rare. The diagnosis of OFD in neonates is difficult, and it is sometimes misidentified as any of a number of other congenital tumors or tumor-like lesions, in which case biopsies are often necessary. After a histological confirmation of OFD, non-surgical or delayed surgical treatment is generally recommended. We present image findings from the radiographs and magnetic resonance images in the case of a 7-day-old female infant with pathologically confirmed congenital OFD
