Stress fractures of the femur in children are unusual. This report describes the findings of two recent cases in children. Because of the potential for confusion with malignant lesions, it is hoped that these two illustrative cases will encourage the inclusion of a stress fracture diagnosis in femoral lesions in children. Also described is a CT scan finding which may be unique to stress fractures.
