The clinical history and the roentgenographic and pathological findings in six cases of non-osteogenic fibroma of bone have been included in some detail in the hope that recognition of this lesion as a distinct entity will be made somewhat easier and that this diagnosis perhaps will be more frequently considered when tumors of bone, especially in the cortical metaphyseal region, have to be treated. Complete curettage or subperiosteal resection of the affected area is supported as the method of treatment.
