Skeletal desmoplastic fibroma is an intraosseous neoplasm that is recognized as a very scare benign tumor. It has a propensity for locally aggressive behavior and local recurrence. The aim of this article is to report a case of skeletal desmoplastic fibroma in right mandible of a 4-year-old boy. The patient was found to have a large skeletal desmoplastic fibroma in right mandible, which was resected by surgical intervention. The defect was successfully restored with a titanium plate. In the report, the etiopathogenisis, pathological, radiographic features, clinical diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of skeletal desmoplastic fibroma were diccussed.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare, benign but locally aggressive tumor found in the mandible that often resembles other oral lesions.
  • Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) leads to multiple colorectal polyps and has various oral manifestations, making it significant in the context of DF.
  • A case study of a 5-year-old with DF showed no recurrence after surgery, and subsequent genetic testing identified FAP, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis and genetic screening in similar cases.
