Tests
How does a doctor know that it’s a non-ossifying fibroma
Diagnostic procedures for non-ossifying fibroma are used to determine the exact type of tumor your child has and whether the tumor has spread. These may include a:
- physical exam, including neurologic function tests to measure your child’s reflexes, muscle strength, eye and mouth movement, coordination and alertness
- x-rays to produce images of internal tissues, bones and organs onto film
- computerized tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan) to capture a detailed view of the body
