| pubmed-article:1061247 | pubmed:abstractText | Osseous desmoid fibromas, analagous with soft tissue desmoid fibromas, are rare tumors with exceptional localization in the mandible, revealed by: -tumefaction and trismus in usually very young subjects; -the radiological picture is that of lysis with relatively well defined limits, but with no double outline, with possible cortical rupture and aberrant lacunae far from the main focus which explains possible recurrences of this tumor which is nevertheless benign. The main histological danger is confusion with a differenciated fibrosarcoma. Mandibular resection which is frequently necessary should ensure stable recovery. | lld:pubmed |
