title: Desmoplastic fibroma: a role for radiotherapy?
abstract: Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare, locally aggressive, benign tumor that is considered the skeletal counterpart of the desmoid tumor of soft tissues. Although the treatment of choice of desmoplastic fibroma is surgical excision, radiation therapy should be considered when surgery is not a viable option.
