ABSTRACT
Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion in cortical bone of anterior mid-shaft of the tibia of infancy and childhood. The lesion is characterized by slow growth and proliferation of fibrous cellular tissue, bone, cement or in combination. A 49 years old male came to tertiary care centre with history of swelling on left arm since one month associated with pain and was gradually progressive. History of intramuscular injection and diabetes was present. Clinical diagnosis of deltoid granuloma on left lateral aspect of deltoid on upper arm was made.
