NOF
A non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) is a common benign fibrous lesion that is an incidental finding in children. The estimated incidence is 30-40% in asymptomatic children/adolescents.
Over time, the NOF can become sclerotic, in which is case it is then called, paradoxically, an ‘ossified non-ossifying fibroma’. This ossified version is also seen in adults.
