More responses advocating biopsy. Wide range of opinions, with responses of benign nonaggressive, benign aggressive, and worried about malignancy. Again, this was completely incidental with no attributable symptoms. Would not have known this lesion existed in its current state, if the patient did not break her elbow. I never planned to ignore this lesion. Wavered

30yoM status post twisting injury. Difficulty with hip flexion and internal rotation. Rule Out psoas tendon tear. I can see why the clinician thought it would be a psoas tear.

There is obvious bowing of the dstal femur with (bilateral) Enders nails that cut out of bone at the anterior distal femur. There
