Bone island femur? The radiographs revealed a small sclerotic lesion in the distal femoral metaphysis which prompted the request for a bone scan. This showed increased activity hence the CT and MRI scans. The lesion looks benign and may represent a bone island (does not have typical brush border on CT but can be active on a bone scan) or some other burnt-out bone lesion such as a small non-ossifying fibroma. It was decided not to biopsy the lesion and follow-up radiographs showed no change.
