Abstract: Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare and locally aggressive benign neoplasm of connective tissue origin that is known as the intraosseous manifestation of soft tissue fibromatosis in both gnathic and extragnathic sites. The aim of this report is to define clinical, histopathological and radiographic features of a desmoplastic fibroma of the right mandible region in a 41-year-old male patient. The patient was initially presented with 6 month history of painless gingival swelling in the right mandibular molar area. Histopathological features and immunohistochemical evaluation allowed the differentiation of Desmoplastic fibroma from other lesions in the maxillofacial area. Keywords: Bone neoplasms. Desmoplastic fibroma. Mandible. Jaw neoplasm.
