Résumé
Non-ossifying fibromas (NOFs) are common lesions most frequently found in the growing bones of children and adolescents. Although NOFs are benign, their presence as incidental findings often triggers further investigation as they are sometimes mistaken for more sinister bone lesions such as aneurysmal bone cysts. NOFs can also pose an increased risk of pathological fractures. However, there are currently no guidelines on the follow-up of NOFs. We present a case series of five patients from Addenbrooke's Hospital with NOFs illustrating their morphological features on plain radiographs and highlighting specific characteristics to support clinicians in diagnosing and managing NOFs.
