Résumé
Introduction: Non-ossifying fibromas are common benign bone tumors of children and young adults. They are usually single, asymptomatic and regress spontaneously in adulthood. Some rare cases of pathologic fractures have been described. Jaffé-Campanacci syndrome is the association of multiple non-ossifying fibromas, "café-au-lait" spots and some degree of type 1 neurofibromatosis. While the relationship between the two entities remains unclear, there seems to be some genetic similarities (partial or complete deletion of the gene NF1).
Case Report: A 17 yo female patient with a neurofibromatosis type 1 was referred to our tertiary centre with a pathologic fracture of the distal femur through a non-ossifying fibroma. She had a slight mental retardation and "café-au-lait" spots. Imaging revealed multiple typical non-ossifying fibromas of both distal femurs and proximal tibias. There was no impending fracture of the controlateral side, and no other findings on thoraco-abdominal CT scanner. The fracture was treated by minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis. Histological analysis of tissue samples taken during the intervention confirmed the histologic diagnosis of non-ossifying fibroma. The fracture healed eventless and the patient returned to work after 3 months. At 12 months follow-up, the patient remained pain-free. Imaging revealed remodelling of the lesions.
Conclusion: Jaffé-Campanacci syndrome is an extremely rare cause of pathologic femur fracture. These fractures can be treated like any other, and good outcome is expected. There is still no consensus in regards to definition of the disease and its relationship with type 1 neurofibromatosis.
