✦ Synopsis

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is a rare benign tumor, first described by Jaffe in 1958. Since then approximately 80 cases have been reported in the long bones, although the tumor also involves the jaw bones, particularly the mandible. The plain film features consist of a lytic, expansile lesion, usually in the metaphysis of bone, sometimes extending into the soft tissues. We present two cases involving the long bones in which the correct diagnosis was suggested by computed tomography (CT). The CT appearance of the lesions is described.

The diagnosis of cortical desmoid in the typical case is easily established using conventional radiography. In atypical cases, the use of computed tomography (CT) may be helpful in diagnosis. We report the use of computed tomography in two patients with cortical desmoids. In one case plain radiograp

Computed tomography was used to identify three different ways in which primary bone tumors may transgress a bony cortex. Analysis of the pattern of cortical transgression was used in conjunction with the presence or absence of matrix mineralization to classify correctly the lesion into one of four d

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the minimum thickness of cortical bone required for the accurate measurement of cortical material density by computed tomography (CT) and to establish normal reference values. A phantom with several wall thicknesses of bone‐like material was co
