Massive Desmoplastic Fibroma of the Proximal Tibia: Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is a very uncommon, benign but locally aggressive fibrogenic tumor. This report describes the case of a 45-year-old patient with a massive desmoplastic fibroma of the proximal tibia. A two-staged surgical procedure was successfully performed wide resection and endoprosthetic reconstruction. Surgeons should be aware of the complexity of its treatment in the locally advanced and aggressive cases. A comprehensive review of the literature is also provided.
