Abstract
A hypocellular variant of fibrous cortical defect – localized in the posterior surface of the distal femur.
Radiologically it is seen as an irregular lytic lesion in the cortex. Histologically it looks like a hypocellular variant of the group of fibrous defects. Treatment: Frequently lesions can be confidently diagnosed based on radiographic features and puncture needle or surgical biopsy, and surgical treatment is not necessary and may be followed with X-rays.
