Demoplastic fibroma of the mandible. A case report.
Case of a 4-year-old boy with a desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible. Desmoplastic fibromas are benign fibrous neoplasms which are easily confused with other fibrous tumors. Although benign, they usually display aggressive local tissue extension and frequently recur when treated conservatively. At the present time, wide, local excision appears to be the treatment of choice.
