This study is based on 170 cases of histiocytic fibroma of bone. This is a metaphyseal hamartoma composed of histio-fibroblasts; it is completely benign, and affects children and adolescents. Because of their benign nature and characteristic radiographic appearance, which is almost always diagnostic, these tumours do not require surgery, except in rare forms that give rise to symptoms, or in which tthe radiographic appearances are atypical and clarification of the diagnosis is called for.
本研究基于170例骨组织细胞性纤维瘤病例。这是一种由组织纤维母细胞组成的干骺端错构瘤；它完全是良性的，影响儿童和青少年。由于其良性性质和特征性的影像学表现（几乎总是具有诊断性），这些肿瘤通常不需要手术，除非是罕见的引起症状的形式，或者影像学表现不典型且需要明确诊断的情况。
