Benign fibrous histiocytofibroma of bone: a rare humeral localization

Résumé

L’histiocytofibrome est une tumeur mésenchymateuse localisée principalement à la peau des extrémités, rarement au niveau de l’os (surtout dans les os longs y compris le fémur, le tibia et l’os iliaque). Elle siège habituellement en situation épiphysaire ou métaphysaire. La localisation humérale diaphysaire est très exceptionnelle. Peu de travaux ont décrit les caractéristiques cliniques, pathologiques et pronostiques des histiocytofibromes osseux, il est donc difficile de les différencier des autres lésions rares telles que la tumeur à cellules géantes (TCG) et le fibrome non ossifiant. Le but de cet article est de décrire cette lésion osseuse très rare et d’en résumer les caractéristiques cliniques, thérapeutiques et pronostiques à partir d’un cas et d’une revue de la littérature.

Abstract

Benign fibrous histiocytofibroma is a mesenchymal tumor that occurs predominantly on the skin of extremities, rarely in the bone (especially in long bones including the femur, tibia, and ilium). It usually sits in epiphyseal or metaphyseal localization. The humeral diaphyseal localization is very exceptional. Few studies have described the clinical, pathological, and prognostic characteristics of benign histiocytofibroma of bone; therefore, it is too difficult to differentiate the tumor from other rare lesions such as giant cell tumor and non-ossifying fibroma. The purpose of this article is to describe this very rare bone lesion and summarize clinical, therapeutic, and prognostic features through a case and a review of the literature.
