Indian J Radiol Imaging. 2016 Apr-Jun;26(2):290-3. doi: 10.4103/0971-3026.184411.

Abstract

Osteofibrous dysplasia or ossifying fibroma is an uncommon benign fibro-osseous lesion of childhood, commonly described in the maxilla and the mandible. Among long bones, it usually presents in the tibia as a painless swelling or anterior bowing. Ossifying fibroma of clavicle has never been reported in English literature, to the best of our knowledge. Here, we would like to present an unusual case of osteofibrous dysplasia of clavicle clinically mimicking chronic osteomyelitis.

Keywords: Chronic osteomyelitis; clavicle; ossifying fibroma; osteofibrous dysplasia.
