| Abstrakt: | Nonossifying fibroma (NOF) is a common benign bone neoplasm and is usually observed in the first 2 decades of life. Most NOFs occur in the metaphysis of long bones of the lower extremities and migrate toward the diaphysis during skeletal maturation. Epiphyseal involvement by NOF has been rarely reported, with only one case found in the English literature. The authors report the second case of NOF involving the epiphysis of a long bone, the proximal tibia of a 21-year-old woman. Clinicians and pathologists should be aware of the rare possibility of epiphyseal involvement of long bones by this condition. Pathologists should select appropriate immunohistochemistry markers to rule out alternative diagnoses. Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
