Abstract

Focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia (FFCD) is a rare, paraneoplastic disease that often presents in children and teenagers. Previous studies have reported cases of lesions in the proximal tibia and distal femur, as well as lesions in the upper extremities. The present study describes a case of FFCD on the transverse process and the rib. The imaging findings were found to correspond with the typical observations of FFCD and a biopsy from the nidus revealed pathological results similar to those of previous reports. Thus, the present study demonstrated that FFCD affects tubular bones as well as flat bones. Further studies are required to investigate the underlying mechanism and treatment of FFCD.
