Benign fibrous histiocytoma of the lumbar vertebrae

Bahtiyar Demiralp et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2009 Feb.

Abstract

Benign fibrous histiocytoma is an extremely rare spinal tumor with ten reported cases in the literature. Benign fibrous histiocytoma constitutes a diagnostic challenge because it shares common clinical symptoms, radiological characteristics, and histological features with other benign lesions involving the spine. We present a case of benign fibrous histiocytoma of the lumbar spine and discuss its differential diagnosis and management.
