ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a rare, slow-growing benign soft tissue tumor. It has a wide anatomical distribution and mainly affects adult males. Fourteen percent of cases occur in the ankle or foot. Case Report In this study, we report a rare location of desmoplastic fibroblastoma on the ankle of a 76-year-old female, discovered as a slowly growing mass.Discussion:
Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is an anatomical and clinical entity. It appears macroscopically as a pseudocartilaginous structure and histologically as a stellate or spindle-shaped fibroblastic proliferation in a collagenous stroma.Conclusion:
Desmoplastic fibroblastoma has anatomical specificities and should still be clearly distinguished from certain malignant tumors.
