“…21 On the other hand, Kali et al reported a gnathic desmoplastic fibroma mimicking a dentigerous cyst. 22 The patient described in the present study had received 3 rounds of chemotherapy before the final, more favorable diagnosis of the tumor was made, and several dental anomalies were found in the panoramic radiograph taken a few years after anticancer treatment. The missing upper right canine (tooth 13) was probably a complication of myxoma excision from the upper right sinus.…”

Tumors of the oral cavity are of various origins and can be signs of non-invasive cysts or malignant neoplasms.The paper describes the case of a 9-year-old boy with a tumor in the right side of the maxilla. Having been treated for an odontogenic myxoma at the age of 3, the patient was included in a national program assessing the health of children who had undergone anticancer treatment. The boy remained under oncological supervision, and the tumor was found again in the same region a few years later. It was diagnosed as a dentigerous cyst and surgically excised. In addition, when the patient was 9 several changes in dentition were found that were typical following anticancer therapy: no tooth germs were observed for teeth 13, 35 and 45, and microdontic teeth 25 and 47 were noted. These changes could be attributed to the chemotherapy performed in early childhood. Tumors appearing in the oral cavity always require an in-depth assessment of their nature and origin. Chemotherapy elicits late complications in tooth development in children.

“…A unilocular or multilocular, well-defined or irregular radiolucency with variable expression of marginal sclerosis are among the presented radiographic features. Therefore, DF often mimics other common as well as unusual pathologies of the jaws, including ameloblastoma, odontogenic myxoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, chondromyxoid fibroma, central hemangioma, and dentigerous cyst [ 6 , 7 ]. Two more unusual patterns that have been described are periapical pathology in relation to an endodontically treated tooth and an interradicular position at presentation.…”

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare, benign, yet locally aggressive bone tumor. It frequently affects the facial bones, and the mandible is the most commonly affected site. Treatment of choice is the removal of the tumor with resection of surrounding bone due to its aggressive behavior. We report a case of DF where the tumor showed resolution and almost complete bone deposition following enucleation. Although DF has a high recurrence rate, the patient remains disease-free 31 months post-surgery.

“…Por se tratar de uma área bastante evidente e que é responsável por grande parte da projeção do terço médio e lateral da face, optou-se em realizar a enucleação da lesão, no intuito de preservar ao máximo o tecido remanescente do osso e arco zigomático, segue com 30 meses de acompanhamento sem recidivas (Escalera, et al, 2010;Kalia, Kaur & Vashisht, 2015.…”

“…Por se tratar de uma lesão que não apresenta características clínicas e radiográficas específicas, o fibroma desmoplásico muitas vezes poderá fazer diagnóstico diferencial com lesões como o ameloblastoma, mixoma odontogênico, cisto ósseo aneurismático, fibroma condromixóide, hemangioma central e granuloma eosinofílico (Chemli, et al, 2009;Kalia, Kaur & Vashisht, 2015;Faulkner, et al, 1995).…”

Desmoplastic fibroma is a very rare benign osteogenic tumor composed of diffuse fibroblasts and abundant collagen fibers. It is locally aggressive and presents a high recurrence rate, so its treatment can be a challenge and several strategies have been described as a way to prevent its recurrence. Thus, the aim of this report was to present the clinical course and treatment of a patient diagnosed with desmoplastic fibroma in the left zygomatic arch region. A case of a 37-year-old patient, whose complaint was painless volume increase in the face with approximately six months of evolution, was described. The physical examination showed a firm, solid and well-delimited mass in the temporal region of the left zygomatic arch, which was submitted to surgical excision. Histological findings of the lesion included fusiform cells involved in diffuse interstitial collagen deposition with absence of superficial mucous lining, compatible with desmoplastic fibroma. The patient is 2 years and 6 months postoperatively, showing no signs of recurrence of the lesion.
