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 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...

Desmoplastic melanomas are uncommon. Their behaviour differs from that of other melanoma subtypes; therefore, management guidelines for non-desmoplastic may not be applicable. This review sought to examine all available evidence relating the and desmoplastic melanomas, based on relevant English-language publications, critically assess recommendations their in current published guidelines. Compa...

Desmoplastic malignant melanoma is a rare variant of spindle cell melanoma, commonly seen in older adults, on sun-exposed areas. It accounts for 1-4% of all cases of cutaneous melanoma. The common location of the desmoplastic melanoma is the head and neck region, whereas, other sites are less common. Regional lymph node involvement is reported in 0 to 13.7% of the cases, which is less frequent ...

Abstract Background Desmoplastic changes in a tumor have been observed to affect the microenvironment, leading both facilitation and prevention of invasiveness. Methods Between 2016 2020, total 120 patients were diagnosed with gallbladder carcinoma. The cases reviewed for type desmoplastic reaction, grade, stage. reaction was classified as mature, intermediate, immature, they correlated grade R...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Desmoplastic melanoma is a unique subtype of melanoma which typically affects older patients who often have comorbidities that can adversely affect survival. We sought to identify melanoma-specific factors influencing survival in patients with desmoplastic melanoma. METHODS Retrospective review from 1993 to 2011 identified 316 patients with primary desmoplastic melan...

UNLABELLED Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) excluded the desmoplastic pattern from the histopathological spectrum of solid ameloblastomas and classified it as a distinct variant, named desmoplastic ameloblastoma. AIM To perform a retrospective analysis of the clinicopathologic aspects in a case series of solid ameloblastomas. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional cohort study. MATERIA...

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...
