Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical, CT or MRI, pathological characteristics of desmoplastic fibroblastoma for helping the diagnosis and treatment. METHODS The clinical data of 4 cases with desmoplastic fibroblastoma were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS The tumors of all 4 cases were found in the compartment of muscles, and can be removed by conservative excision. The 4 cases were followed up for 38, 7, 6, 3 months respectively, and no local recurrences were found. CONCLUSION Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a benign fibroblastic neoplasm with distinctive clinical, CT or MRI imaging and pathological characteristics. Optimal management is conservative excision with functional preservation. Needle aspiration cytology and immunohistochemistry are of non-diagnostic value.
