title: [Desmoplastic fibroblastoma of the foot].
abstract: Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a benign, rare, slow-growing soft tissue tumor which is found in a wide anatomic distribution, predominantly in adult males. The characteristic gross aspect is that of a typical cartilage-like tumor which histologically presents regular fibroblastic proliferation, often in a stellar shape within a dense collagen or myxo-collagen stroma. We report a new case observed in the foot and study the anatomic and clinical aspects of this rare entity.
