Osteofibrous dysplasia is a benign and rare bone lesion which involves most often the tibia or simultaneously the tibia and the fibula bones. It is usually diagnosed during childhood or early adolescence. Although its limited evolutionary potential, it can lead to bone deformities as well as local pain. The classic radiological appearance shows zones of well-defined intracortical osteolysis as well as a curvature with an anterior apex of the diaphysis. Its evolution is characterized by a progression of the lesion and bone deformation variable during childhood then a stabilization followed by a progressive resolution in the adulthood. We report the case of an osteofibrous tibia dysplasia revealed by a deformation of the left leg in a 10-day-old female newborn.
