Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare, benign, locally aggressive, intra-osseous tumor that commonly involves the mandible, with a high recurrence rate.A four-year-old boy with a history of painless right mandibular expansion associated with progressive trismus over a period of 18 months was taken up for hemimandibulectomy.The excised lesion was finally diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma upon histopathological and immunohistochemical assessment.We present the report of the case accompanied by a review of pediatric cases of gnathic desmoplastic fibroma and their immunohistochemistry.
