Fibrocartilaginous dysplasia

Skeletal Radiol. 1996 Jul;25(5):509-11. doi: 10.1007/s002560050126.

Abstract

We present the case of a 53-year-old patient with fibrocartilagenous dysplasia. The area involved was in the proximal femur and presented a lytic lesion with extensive calcifications which radiologically mimicked chondrosarcoma. The radiopathological pattern of this rare entity is discussed in detail and the literature reviewed.
