“…Gebhardt et al [8], reviewing the literature with adequate information regarding treatment, report a recurrence rate of 42% following treatment with either curettage or bone grafts (or both) in 26 patients. In the 18 cases in this series only two recurrences were found: one in the distal radius after 13 months and one in the clavicle .. after 9 years.…”

Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign primary bone tumor, histologically identical to the extra-abdominal desmoid tumor of soft tissues. The incidence in major series of bone tumors is 0.1%-0.3%. In the present study 18 cases from the files of the Netherlands Committee on Bone Tumors are reported, with an emphasis on the radiographic features. Eight female and ten male subjects were affected, with a fairly even age distribution from the second to the seventh decade of life. The most frequent sites of involvement were the femur and the pelvis. Radiographically the lesions nearly always demonstrated benign features with respect to pattern of destruction, margins, and reactive bone formation; however, soft tissue extension was sometimes present. Although desmoplastic fibroma usually presents with pain or swelling, in 5 of the 18 cases the existence of the lesion was an accidental finding, and in 2 cases the patient had long-standing, vague complaints of pain. Though overall benign radiographic features may support the final diagnosis, the main and often troublesome histological differential diagnosis is of a low-grade fibrosoma. En bloc resection is the treatment of choice in view of the high incidence of recurrence after curettage.

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a very rare bone tumor, classified as a benign lesion. It might be locally a very aggressive tumor with a high rate of recurrence after surgical resection. We present a case of a 3-year and 6 month-old patient, with mandibular desmoplastic fibroma. The clinical, imaging, histological findings and surgical treatment are discussed and, also, a brief review of the literature of DF is presented. The purpose of this case report is to emphasize the particularity of the case, ultrasound findings and the main differential diagnostic of this rare bone tumor.

“…The patient was treated with curettage and bone grafting with cementing; however, a high recurrence rate has been reported with this conservative treatment modality [5]. The treatment of choice, therefore, is wide tumor resection.…”
