Abstract

The desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a unique fibrous soft tissue tumor which shows clinically and morphologically distinct characteristics. Most of the desmoplastic fibroblastomas arise from the extremities, shoulder girdle, posterior neck, upper back or abdominal wall. This tumor resembles histological a desmoid tumor. However, it is much better microscopic circumscribed. The clinical outcome after a surgical resection is better than that of a desmoid tumor. We will report about imaging findings of a desmoplastic fibroblastoma which raised in the foot with a review of the relevant literature.
