Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is a rare locally aggressive, but non-metastatic tumor. In this case report, we present a desmoplastic fibroma in an unusual location, the clavicle. Desmoplastic fibroma involving the clavicle is extremely rare, with only 2 reported cases before 1985. We report the imaging findings of a desmoplastic fibroma of the clavicle with a review of the relevant literature.

Desmoplastic fibroma, which develops predominantly in long bones and the mandible, is a rare and benign but locally aggressive tumor. Desmoplastic fibroma of the cranium is extremely rare. We report a case of desmoplastic fibroma of the frontal bone in a young man. Because of its locally aggressive behavior, complete surgical excision with a safety margin is essential.

Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign primary bone tumor that is histologically similar to the soft tissue desmoid tumor. It most often involves the mandible, large long bone or iliac bone. Desmoplastic fibroma in a toe has been extremely rarely reported. Authors report a rare case of desmoplastic fibroma of bone occurring in the distal phalanx of a foot, with descriptions of the radiographic a...

Desmoplastic fibroma is a benign but locally aggressive tumor arising usually from the mandible, pelvis and long bones with a potential for recurrence. We report a case of desmoplastic fibroma of the frontal bone in a young male.

Desmoplastic fibroma is a locally aggressive benign fibrous tumor of bone that has been reported in both the maxillofacial skeleton and the long bones. Desmoplastic fibroma of the extremities was first reported by Jaffe1 in 1958. The first description of this entity involving the jaws was reported by Griffith and Irby2 in 1965. In rare instances, multifocal desmoplastic fibromas have been repor...

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is an extremely rare benign intraosseus, locally aggressive bone tumor with an incidence of 0.11% of all primary bone tumors. The most common sites of involvement are the mandible and the metaphysis of long bones. Histologically and biologically, desmoplastic fibroma mimics extra-abdominal desmoid tumor of soft tissue. A 25-year male presented to outpatient department ...

A case of a slow growing painless swelling of the dorsum of the hand in reported. The swelling was excised along with the corresponding rendon slip. A cortical window was made in the underlying metacarpal and the medullary cavity examined to rule out medullary extension. The histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis as Desmoplastic Fibroma. Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign tumor of myo...

Desmoplastic fibroma is a particularly rare, benign but locally aggressive, primary bone tumor. Owing to previously published reports stating high recurrence rates following curettage, the recommended primary treatment for desmoplastic fibroma is a marginal to wide tumor resection. In the current report, the case of an athlete with desmoplastic fibroma of the distal femur who was treated with e...

desmoplastic fibroma is a rare, locally aggressive, benign lesion. a case of desmoplastic fibroma of left side of mandible is reported. the lesion presented as painless mass in left posterior portion of mandible of a 7-year-old girl. histologically the lesion was composed of interlacing fascicles of benign appearing fibroblast in a varying ground substance of collagenous tissue. in this report,...

detected in several cases [4]. In our case, immunohis-tochemical staining for vimentin was not performed. Positivity for vimentin implies that the tumor cells are of fibroblastic lineage. However, we were able to determine that with the satellite to spindle shape of cells. Histopathologically, the tumors appear well-mar-ginated under low-power microscopic examination. The tumor cells are relati...
