Desmoplastic fibroma: report of rare lesion in unusual craniofacial location.

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a benign but aggressive intraosseous tumor. These lesions are categorized as central tumors of bone. They are composed of small fibroblasts in a setting of abundant extracellular material, which is rich in collagen. DF represents fewer than 0.1% of all bony tumors. They can be found in any part of the skeleton. Based upon on our literature review, we believe this is the second reported case of desmoplastic fibroma occurring in the zygoma area.
