title: Desmoplastic fibroma of the scapula: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Desmoplastic fibroma of the scapula is a rare benign tumor in a rare site. We describe the management of a 61-year-old man with desmoplastic fibroma of the scapula. We think that a wide excision is one good treatment for this tumor. If there is a major functional deficit, the reconstructional operation may be designed for saving the function.
