title: Computed tomography of ossifying fibroma of the tibia.
abstract: Two ossifying fibromas of the tibia were studied by computed tomography, which showed that the lesions were composed predominantly of high density tissue and that they were located in the cortex. The tissue density indicated that the tumors were diffusely ossified or calcified. The intracortical site is typical of ossifying fibroma, but it is unusual in other lesions of similar appearance.
