Desmoplastic Fibroma: Aggressive Curettage As a Surgical Alternative for Treatment
1995
In this article, the authors present 5 patients with desmoplastic fibroma and review the literature. Four patients had aggressive curettage with bone graft, and 1 had aggressive curettage alone. Although the literature reports that many patients have recurrence after curettage, there have been no recurrences in these 5 patients during followup periods ranging from 5 years 6 months to 9 years. Although wide excision has been recommended in the literature, treatment with aggressive curettage achieved clinical and radiographic control of the lesions for at least an intermediate duration of followup.
