Abstract

Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a rare, fibrous, soft-tissue tumor that usually arises in subcutaneous tissues and skeletal muscle at various anatomic sites. We report a case of desmoplastic fibroblastoma in a 33-year-old female presented with a palpable mass in her right arm. Ultrasound images showed a hypoechoic mass lesion with internal vascularity. Magnetic resonance (MR) images showed areas of heterogeneously with high and low signal intensity on T2-weighted images, and intense enhancement on post-contrast T1-weighted images. Histopathologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed desmoplastic fibroblastoma.
