Sumario:Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare, benign, yet locally aggressive bone tumor. It frequently affects the facial bones, and the mandible is the most commonly affected site. Treatment of choice is the removal of the tumor with resection of surrounding bone due to its aggressive behavior. We report a case of DF where the tumor showed resolution and almost complete bone deposition following enucleation. Although DF has a high recurrence rate, the patient remains disease-free 31 months post-surgery.
