title: Imaging findings in desmoplastic fibroma of bone: distinctive T2 characteristics.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to evaluate the imaging features of desmoplastic fibroma of the bone, with an emphasis on MRI signal characteristics.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Significant T2 shortening of a nonsclerotic fibroosseous lesion should place desmoplastic fibroma high among the diagnostic considerations.
