It is usually seen in young patients and involves mandible and long bones. It has histological resemblance to the desmoid tumor of the abdominal wall.

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone. A report of six cases.

The clinical and pathological features of six cases of desmoplastic fibroma of bone are presented.

Radiographically the lesion tends to expand the bone from within; it is well-demarcated and lytic, of...

Desmoplastic fibroma of the frontal bone.

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.
