Abstract
Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare, benign, locally aggressive, intra-osseous tumor that commonly involves the mandible, with a high recurrence rate. A four-year-old boy with a history of painless right mandibular expansion associated with progressive trismus over a period of 18 months was taken up for hemimandibulectomy. The excised lesion was finally diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma upon histopathological and immunohistochemical assessment. We present the report of the case accompanied by a review of pediatric cases of gnathic desmoplastic fibroma and their immunohistochemistry.
