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 infantile ganglioglioma is a very rare supratentorial tumor occurring in the first two years of life. A five-month-old female infant presented with recurrent seizures, large head and loss of acquired milestones. Computerized Tomographic Scan of brain showed a large subarachnoid cyst with a solid intensely contrast enhancing tumor in the right temporoparietal region with severe degr...

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 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,...

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...

AIM To compare the expression of VEGF-A and desmoplastic reaction of colorectal cancer between the young aged and old aged patients excluding the stage of tumor. METHODS Our study was a retrospective study on VEGF-A expression and desmoplastic reaction in pathology anatomy specimens of patients with colorectal cancer at young age (less than 40 years of age) and older age (more than equal 60 y...

Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma is a rare intracranial tumour of childhood that involves the cerebral cortex and the leptomeninges. We report two patients with desmoplastic infantile gangliogliomas and multiple cerebrospinal metastases. To our knowledge, only two similar cases have been reported in the published literature. Pathologically, this rare intracranial tumour shows glial and gang...

INTRODUCTION Desmoplastic melanoma is a rare variant of melanoma that has been reported to demonstrate unique clinical behavior when compared with other histological subtypes. In this study, we present the clinical course of patients with this unusual diagnosis. We hypothesized that desmoplastic melanoma would differ from nondesmoplastic melanoma with regard to its presentation, rate of regiona...

BACKGROUND Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (collagenous fibroma) is an uncommon benign soft-tissue tumor, rarely involving bone. It shares some overlapping features with other infiltrate tumors, such as desmoid-type fibromatosis, neurofibroma, and low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. The misdiagnosis may cause unnecessary surgical overtreatment, especially for those involving bone. In order to deepen the ...

desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare malignant tumor that occurs primarily in young males. here, a case of small round cell tumor in an adult male successfully treated with a curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy is presented. a 58-year-old man had an intrapelvic tumor. surgical resection was attempted, but the tumor was unresectable. needle biopsy was performed and the diagnosis was s...
