Here, we first report a case that the simultaneous onset of two entities was mistaken for the development of NOF into ES. A17-year-old boy referred to hospital in October 2010 for a durative ache in his right knee after an injury during football training. Initial radiographs revealed a low-density area with sclerotic margin on the proximal part of the right tibia. Computed tomography （CT） scan showed a radiolucent, eccentric, and cortically based lesion in the posterolateral metaphysis of the right tibia. Then, the patient underwent magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）, in which a lesion revealed long mixed signs on T1-weighted imaging （T1WI） and short signs on T2WI accompanied with bone contusion around it. These reports suggested that the eccentric area could be an osteoid osteoma or a NOF. A percutaneous biopsy of the right proximal tibia lesion was performed, and then NOF was pathologically confirmed. Hence, curettage and bone grafting were performed.展开更多
