title: [Focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia of the femur. A case report and review of the literature].
abstract: A case of focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia of the femur is presented. Varus femoral malalignment progressed from 30 degrees in 5th month of life to 51 degrees in 27th month of life. CT revealed flattening of the bone in the frontal plane, sclerotic marrow cavity with focal change resembling nidus of osteoma osteoides. Longitudinal defect filled with compact fibrous tissue was found below it. Corrective osteotomy has been done at the age of 32 months with good cosmetic result.
