slide 5 of 6
 
Comments:
Microscopically, they consist of a spindle cell proliferation with a loose storiform pattern. Mitotic activity may be increased but there is no cytologic atypia. Spindle cells often contain yellow-brown hemosiderin deposits. Numerous benign giant cells are present which may lead to mistaken diagnosis of a giant cell tumor.   return to Non-ossifying Fibroma
