ABSTRACT
Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is an extremely rare tumor that was first described by Jaffe in 1958. It histologically resembles the desmoid tumor of soft tissue. It is known as locally aggressive tumor but we experienced definitely benign and resembling simple bone cyst radiographically. We report a case of desmoplastic fibroma of bone and it should be included in the differential diagnosis list of any lytic bone lesion. The radiograph, MR imaging features, radiological and pathological differential diagnosis of the case are described, and literatures are reviewed.
