Abstract

Fibrous and fibro-osseous tumors are some of the most common benign lesions involving bones. Although many of the histomorphologic features of these tumors overlap significantly, an interdisciplinary approach helps to consolidate the classification of these tumors. Herein, the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of lesions within these categories are described.

Keywords: Desmoplastic fibroma; Fibro-osseous; Fibrous; Fibrous dysplasia; Ossifying fibroma.
