Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that rarely occurs in the facial skeleton. It usually presents during the first three decades of life. Due to its aggressiveness and high recurrence rate, early diagnosis is imperative, and complete surgical removal of the lesion is the treatment of choice. Herein, we present three cases of DF namely a 2 year-old girl with a man...

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) is a benign but locally invasive variant of the solid/multicystic ameloblastoma (SMA). In the recent World Health Organization classification of odontogenic tumours, DA has been characterised as a variant, with specific clinical, radiographic and histopathological features. A possible 'transitional' form of DA, showing microscopic features of the desmoplastic var...

INTRODUCTION Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (collagenous fibroma) is a recently described tumor thought to arise predominantly from subcutaneous tissue or skeletal muscle. The natural evolution of this tumor on magnetic resonance imaging has never been described, to the best of our knowledge. We herein report a case of desmoplastic fibroblastoma arising in the thigh and show the longitudinal magnet...

with a 2to 3-month history of increasing discomfort in the left anterior hip and pelvic area. She had also noted a decrease in her stride length, as well as a nontender mass in the thigh. There was some dysesthesia in the leg with long periods of sitting. She denied suffering any associated injury. Her medical history included a protein-S deficiency, a recent atypical Papanicolaou smear that pr...

Objective. To study the pathomorphological structure of ameloblastomas and work out their classification. Materials methods. Histological analysis material obtained after removal jaws in 67 patients was carried out. Results. Pathomorphological classification suggested based on studies Conclusions. The term “ameloblastoma” refers to two groups tumours: true pseudoameloblastomas. Eight structural...

Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma is a rare benign adnexal tumor. Although it is a benign lesion, patients often want to treat it due to cosmetic concerns when it occurs in an easily visible site. For our two cases, topical 5% imiquimod was an attractive treatment option as it is applied by the patients themselves and it has minimal side effects, including leaving no scar. However, the lesions rec...

INTRODUCTION Fibro-osseous lesions constitute a rare benign type of pathology with a non-odontogenic lineage that affect the craniofacial area. According to Waldrom's classification, these lesions are divided into: fibrous dysplasia (FD), cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) and desmoplastic fibroma (DF). MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed on patients diagnosed with fibro-oss...
