Nonossifying fibromas appear to be histiocytic lesions. On the basis of light and electron microscopic studies, as well as behavior, they are identical to benign fibrohistiocytomas found in soft tissues. The fibroblastic appearance of some of these lesions by light and electron microscopy, especially in older lesions, reflects the ability of histiocytes to behave as facultative fibroblasts. Final data of the cell of origin for these lesions must await more definitive studies by other methods, perhaps using immunologic, immunoperoxidase and/or surface markers techniques.
非骨化性纤维瘤似乎是组织细胞性病变。基于光镜和电镜研究以及其生物学行为，它们与软组织中的良性纤维组织细胞瘤相同。通过光镜和电镜观察，这些病变中的一些呈现出成纤维细胞样外观，尤其是在较陈旧的病变中，这反映了组织细胞具有兼性成纤维细胞的功能。这些病变起源细胞的最终数据必须等待通过其他方法进行更确切的研究，可能要使用免疫学、免疫过氧化物酶和/或表面标志物技术。
