Abstract: Desmoid fibroma of the jaw in pediatric patients presents unique challenges in treatment due to its local aggressiveness and tendency for recurrence. The management approach typically involves the following strategies: surgery, observation or adjunctive therapies. We report a case of a 15 years old children with a desmoid fibroma of the jaw operate bye a hemimandibulectomy and reconstruction.
