Definition
A benign medullary neoplasm characterized by the presence of poorly organized and inadequately mineralized bone and intervening fibrous tissue, in varying proportions. It can be monostotic or polyostotic. The skull, femur, tibia, and humerus are the most frequently affected bones. It manifests with pain, deformities, and fractures. GNAS activating mutations are detected in the majority of cases.

CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment.
Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
