“…According to some authors and based on observations in our institution, DF typically affects children between 18 months and 3 years of age and presents as a painless mass. Most DFs arise in the pelvis and long bones whereas DF arising within the mandible, within the maxilla, and in the cranium is rare [ 37 , 38 ]. DF can occur either as a solitary lesion or as a manifestation of tuberous sclerosis.…”

Tumors of the pediatric facial skeleton represent a major challenge in clinical practice because they can lead to functional impairment, facial deformation, and long-term disfigurement. Their treatment often requires a multidisciplinary approach, and radiologists play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of these lesions. Although rare, pediatric tumors arising in the facial bones comprise a wide spectrum of benign and malignant lesions of osteogenic, fibrogenic, hematopoietic, neurogenic, or epithelial origin. The more common lesions include Langerhans cell histiocytosis and osteoma, while rare lesions include inflammatory myofibroblastic and desmoid tumors; juvenile ossifying fibroma; primary intraosseous lymphoma; Ewing sarcoma; and metastases to the facial bones from neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, or retinoblastoma. This article provides a comprehensive approach for the evaluation of children with non-odontogenic tumors of the facial skeleton. Typical findings are discussed with emphasis on the added value of multimodality multiparametric imaging with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), positron emission tomography CT (PET CT), and PET MRI. Key imaging findings and characteristic histologic features of benign and malignant lesions are reviewed and the respective role of each modality for pretherapeutic assessment and post-treatment follow-up. Pitfalls of image interpretation are addressed and how to avoid them.

“…Based on the results in previously published reports, the authors suggest that no definite preoperative diagnostic criteria are currently available for DFB. [19–28] Nonetheless, DFB is associated with low morbidity, and a certain misdiagnosis rate might be expected among pathologists. As a result, clinicians should always be extremely careful in cases of first-onset patients.…”

Rationale:Desmoplastic fibroma of the bone (DFB) is an extremely rare benign bone tumor, which can occur in any bone at all ages. Herein, we report a case of non-specific imaging findings.Patient concerns:A 25-year-old female patient was consulted in the Armed Police General Hospital (Beijing, China) due to repeated pain in the right thigh lasting over 1 year. Imaging examination revealed a space-occupying lesion in the right femur.Diagnosis:Desmoplastic fibroma of the femurInterventions:Wide surgical resectionOutcomes:At the 1-year follow-up visit, no relapse in the tumor was observed.Lessons:In this case report, we described and emphasized the particularity of the case examined and the possible non-specificity of the imaging results of some DFB cases.
