title: [Non-ossifying fibroma of the bone in children].
abstract: The article discusses problems dealing with the diagnosis of a benign tumor of the skeleton, "non-ossifying++ tumor of bone", encountered quite often in children. Observations over 68 patients of 7 to 15 years of age show that the tumor develops from foci of fibrous osteodysplasia (Lichtenstein-Braitsev disease) and its solitary from--fibrous metaphyseal defect. The latter usually ossifies spontaneously by the end of the child's growth and follows an asymptomatic course, but cases with growth of the focus occur. Magnified radiographs (the reisgraphy method) make it possible to detect the transformation of a dysplastic process into a true tumor. All of the 68 patients were operated on by means of ultrasonic bone resection and repair of the defect with a cortico-demineralized allograft by the "faggot" method suggested by the author.
