Pathological fractures on both lower limbs with Jaffe-Campanacci's syndrome

Jaffe-Campanacci's syndrome is a very rare condition and was first described by Jaffe in 1958. It is presented by non-ossifying fibromas, café-au-lait spots and axillar freckling. Non-ossifying fibromas are usually found after minor traumas or stress fractures. Differential diagnosis to neurofi...

Description
Summary:Jaffe-Campanacci's syndrome is a very rare condition and was first described by Jaffe in 1958. It is presented by non-ossifying fibromas, café-au-lait spots and axillar freckling. Non-ossifying fibromas are usually found after minor traumas or stress fractures. Differential diagnosis to neurofibromatosis include the absence of Lisch granules, neurofibromatous skin lesions and schwannomatous soft tissue masses. In this case, we report a 13-year-old white boy with Jaffe-Campanacci's syndrome, and bilateral pathological lower limbs fracture.
