Desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible. Clinical observation

Abstract

Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare aggressive fibroblastic/myofiberblastic benign bone tumor. It ranks 0.1% of all primary bone tumors. Differential diagnosis of this pathology is not easy, since the tumor has a similar X-ray and histological – pathological picture with some benign and malignant neoplasms. The article presents the review of foreign literature on the topic: historical data, clinical manifestations, comparative analysis of the informative value of differential diagnosis techniques, treatment tactics used in world practice. The clinical observation of a patient with mandibular desmoplastic fibroma is presented in detail. The clinical and diagnostic picture is given also in detail. Obtained histological preparation is described. The main stages and results of the chosen surgical tactics are outlined. Given the rarity of the disease, the complexity of its diagnosis and the lack of a standard surgical treatment technique, the results of the article may have the great practical and scientific interest.
