ABSTRACT
Benign fibrous histiocytomas (BFHs) and non-ossifying fibromas (NOFs) are benign bone tumors that are clinically different, but histologically similar. Most benign lesions are treated with curettage and grafting; however, some misdiagnosed cases are treated with more aggressive procedures, including arthroplasty. Herein, we present a 21-year-old patient that presented with a 1-year history of right hip pain. Anteroposterior X-ray showed a centrally located lesion in the femoral neck that was intracapsular and localized subcortically. To the best of our knowledge, the literature does not include any reposts of BFH or NOF localized at the intracapsular hip. In addition, localization of and treatment options for intracapsular hip lesions are clarified.
