Desmoplastic Fibroma of Bone: a Case Series and Review of Literature

Abstract

Desmoplastic fibroma is an uncommon locally aggressive benign tumor of the bone. Patients usually present with a long-standing history of pain and swelling. Radiologically and histologically, it can mimic a variety of tumors. This article presents a report on three cases of desmoplastic fibroma in the proximal humerus, distal femur, and neck femur region. The varied radiographic features and the management of the three cases are described in detail. All the three patients were treated by extended curettage. Follow-up ranged from 2 to 5 years. There were no local or systemic recurrence until the last follow-up. Tumor resection with adequate margins is the preferred treatment, although extended curettage can be an acceptable alternative treatment modality when resection is not possible or acceptable.
