case_images: At that time, the plain radiography of the right knee demonstrated a small well-circumscribed eccentric lesion in the proximal medial metaphyseal region of the tibia without disruption of the cortex (Figure 1), and the patient had been treated conservatively with suspicious of fibrous cortical defect.

case_images: 3 months later she was referred to our clinic with a new plain radiography, which demonstrated a large well-defined centric lytic lesion with involvement of both medial and lateral portion of proximal tibial metaphysis, without disruption of cortices and physis (Figure 2).
