Histiocytofibroma is a mesenchymal tumour located
mainly in the skin of the extremities, rarely in the bone (especially in
long bones, including the femur, tibia and iliac bone). Little work has
described the clinical, pathological and prognostic characteristics
of bone histiocytofibromas, making it difficult to differentiate them
from other rare lesions such as Giant Cell Tumour (GCT) and nonosseogenic
fibroma. Their surgical management is conservative with
a low recurrence rate, we report a case of bone histiocytofibroma of
the proximal end of the tibia in a young adolescent patient treated by
curettage and cement filling.
