Abstract

Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a rare benign primary skeletal tumor that occurs commonly in the long bones, spine and pelvis. BFH constitutes a diagnostic challenge because it shares clinical background, radiological characteristics, and histological features with other fibrous lesions such as non-ossifying fibroma, giant cell tumor. We present a case of BFH with cystic change that occurred in the distal femur. We did not identify any case of BFH with cystic change involving the majority of the lesion that occurred in the metaepiphysis of the long bone.
