Desmoplastic fibroma of bone. (A study of three cases).
Three cases of demoplastic fibroma of bone are presented. Thirty six cases already reported in the world literature are reviewed, making the present total thirty nine cases. The extreme rarity of the tumor is emphasised, and its clinical, radiographic, morphological and pathological aspects discussed. Though the absence of metastases or histologically abnormal cells  attest to its benign nature it has a definite tendency to local recurrence. Differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
