From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In medicine, a desmoplastic fibroma is a benign fibrous tumor of bone, affecting children and young adults, potentially resulting in cortical bone destruction.[1] It can also occur in the hand.[2]

Symptoms[edit]

  • Low progress, pain late
  • Plain swelling
  • No obvious other signals or uncomfortableness

Common Involved Bones[edit]

Radiographic features[edit]

  • A lytic bone lesion
  • A narrow zone of transition and non-sclerotic margins
  • Widening of the host bone

Treatment[edit]

Typical Case[edit]

A famous occurrence of this particular form of the disease involved Italo-Australian Riccardo Torresan in 2011, with 18 cm of femur needing to be removed with the now widely recognized method of "aggressive curettage" being employed.[3]
