title: MRI findings in osteofibrous dysplasia.
abstract: A case of osteofibrodysplasia of the long bones in a 4-year-old girl is reported with ipsilateral tibial and fibular involvement. The radiological pattern of the lesions suggested fibrodysplasia but not their MRI signal characteristics. This diagnostic imaging mismatch and the bifocality of the lesion were the tell-tale indications for the confirmatory bone biopsy yielding osteofibrous dysplasia of Campanacci.
