Abstract

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a benign, rare fibroblastic intraosseous neoplasm histologically resembling a desmoid soft tissue tumor. Although classified as benign, DF frequently exhibits an aggressive behavior, has a moderate‑to‑high recurrence rate, and often causes pathological fractures and extensive bone destruction. This case report presents an incidentally detected DF of the tibia, which was diagnosed using a minimally invasive approach. A 36‑year‑old African female patient was referred to the Department of Diagnostic Imaging of Arcispedale Santa Maria Nuova‑IRCCS (Reggio Emilia, Italy), to be examined by a computed tomography scan on an outpatient basis, after an x‑ray examination of the tibia, which was performed after an injury to exclude the presence of a fracture, revealed a hyperlucency of unknown origin. The aim of this study was to discuss the clinical, histological, immunohistochemical and radiographic characteristics of this rare neoplasm, with a focus on image‑guided bone biopsy.
