Core Tip	Non-ossifying fibromas (NOFs) are common lesions in the lower extremities of children. We analyzed 44 cases of NOF including 47 lesions comprising 2 upper extremity cases and 45 lower extremity cases. Larger lesions > 4 cm and lesion expansion at the cortex were seen in 21% and 32% of cases, respectively. Lesions in the upper extremities in the humerus and the radius expanded at the cortical bone, and lesion size increased with slow ossification, suggestive of aggressive biological features. Furthermore, NOFs in the radius are predisposed to fracture because of the slender structure of the radius and the susceptibility to stress.
