Abstract

Non-ossifying fibromas (NOF) are a benign entity of the developing bone, relatively common in children and young adults. Their location is most frequently metaphyseal. They are usually asymptomatic (unless associated to a fracture) and have a self-limited behavior, with spontaneous regression through a sclerotic consolidation. Plain X-ray is the main imaging tool for its diagnosis. However, an unclear X-ray may lead to further imaging studies.

We present the case of a 17-year-old male with back pain and lower limb dysmetria referred for a bone scintigraphy to complete the diagnostic and assess disease extension and the subsequent MRI evaluation.

Keywords:
Non-ossifying fibroma
Bone scintigraphy
SPECT/CT
Fibrous cortical defect
Resumen

Los fibromas no osificantes (NOF) son entidades benignas del hueso en desarrollo, relativamente frecuentes en niños y adultos jóvenes. Su localización más habitual es la metáfisis de los huesos largos, suelen ser asintomáticos (excepto si se asocian a una fractura) y normalmente se autolimitan, regresando espontáneamente mediante una consolidación esclerosante. La radiografía simple es la principal herramienta para su diagnóstico. Sin embargo, una radiografía dudosa puede llevar a la realización de otras pruebas de imagen.

Presentamos el caso de un chico de 17 años con dolor de espalda y dismetría de miembros inferiores, remitido para la realización de una gammagrafía ósea con la finalidad de completar el diagnóstico y evaluar la extensión de la afectación, y la posterior valoración mediante RM.

Palabras clave:
Fibroma no osificante
Gammagrafía ósea
SPECT/TAC
Defecto fibroso cortical
