“…Five key cases occurred: three in the palate [3][4][5], one on the tongue [7], and one in the alveolar bone [6]. Considering the reported cases [3][4][5][6][7], including the present study, oral DF shows a predilection for adults, with a mean age of 54 years. The current case is the first of its kind found in the buccal mucosa of a man.…”

“…DF is a rare benign soft tissue tumor, frequently found in several locations, such as the arm and the posterior portion of the neck or upper back [1]. However, this tumor is especially rare in the mouth, with only five cases reported, all of which affected women [3][4][5][6][7]. Five key cases occurred: three in the palate [3][4][5], one on the tongue [7], and one in the alveolar bone [6].…”

“…In the current case, neither traumatic injury nor an inciting event could be identified or described by the patient. Clinically, oral DF appears as a painless, solitary, slow growing, well-circumscribed mass [3][4][5][6][7], with yellowish [7], reddish [6], or normally colored mucosa [3][4][5], with no precipitating trauma [3][4][5][6][7]. Once enlarged, it leads to difficulty in speaking, eating, and closing of the mouth [5].…”

“…Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (DF), also known as collagenous fibroma, is a rare, benign, slow growing lesion [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], which was first described in 1995 by Evans [2]. DF occurs in the subcutaneous or intramuscular tissue, with a wide anatomic distribution, showing a strong predilection for men between the fifth and sixth decades of life [1,3].…”

Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor affecting mainly the subcutaneous and muscle tissue. Only five cases identified in the oral cavity have been reported in prior literature. This article presents a case report of a 56-year-old man, with no previous history of trauma, who presented a slow-growing mass in the buccal mucosa. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry staining studies were performed, and a diagnosis of the desmoplastic fibroblastoma was made. The patient has been disease-free for one year.
