Abstract
A 7-year-old boy presented in whom a metaphyseal fibrous defect was di agnosed. The lesion was enucleated under local anesthesia. The postope rative course was uneventful, and there have been no signs of recurren ce as of 14 months after operation. Although rare, metaphyseal fibrous defect should be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors ari sing in the jaws.
