Desmoplastic fibroma is a benign intraosseous neoplasm that is recognized as the intraosseous counterpart of soft tissue fibromatosis in both gnathic and extragnathic sites. It has a propensity for locally aggressive behavior and local recurrence. In the present report, we define the clinicopathological and radiographic features of a desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible in an 8-year-old white boy who initially presented with a 2-month history of a rapidly expanding, painless mass along the right inferior border of his mandible. A critical and comprehensive review of the English language literature is also provided.

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is an uncommon benign bone tumor that typically affects the facial bones, with cerebral cranium involvement being extremely rare. We report a unique case of DF in the parietal bone of a 28-year-old woman, notable for its rapid growth during pregnancy-a phenomenon not previously documented. The imaging features of this case also differ from all but one previously reported case.

Objectives: Microvascular free tissue transfer (MVFTT) for head and neck reconstruction is infrequently performed in pediatric patients. There is a paucity of data on perioperative airway management in pediatric MVFTT, such as the need for tracheostomy, which can pose higher morbidity to young patients due to potential long-term effects on the softer, more pliable laryngotracheal cartilage. Our objective was to report airway outcomes on pediatric patients undergoing MVFTT after segmental mandibulectomy with or without tracheostomy.

Background/aim: Desmoplastic fibroblastoma, also known as collagenous fibroma, is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm that primarily arises in the subcutaneous tissue of upper extremities and limb girdles. The knee is an uncommon location for desmoplastic fibroblastoma. Recent studies have demonstrated the presence of immunoreactivity for FOS like 1 (FOSL1) and rearrangements of FOSL1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to compile and summarize information about desmoplastic fibroma in the jaw bones, focusing on its key characteristics.
  • A systematic review identified 66 articles detailing 96 cases, revealing a higher prevalence in females and younger patients, particularly affecting the mandible, with painless swelling as the primary symptom.
  • Surgical removal is the standard treatment with a recurrence rate of 10.8%, and histopathological analysis shows specific cellular and molecular features that require more research for understanding the tumor's development.
