Abstract

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare, non-metastasizing, intraosseous benign but locally aggressive tumor of connective tissue origin, which represents only 0.06% of all bony tumors and 0.3% of benign bony tumors. There are no specific radiological features in the diagnosis of desmoplastic fibroma. Unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies with well-defined borders were generally seen, as well as occasional destruction of the mandibular border and root resorption. One of the extremely rare radiographic patterns in desmoplastic fibroma is a sunray appearance (as a periosteal reaction). According to the data available to us, this radiographic pattern of desmoplastic fibroma was first found by Iwai in a 4-year-old girl. The aim of this article was to present the second report of a pediatric mandibular desmoplastic fibroma with sunray appearance. Meanwhile, a review of literature regarding the different imaging features of desmoplastic fibroma is presented. The key message of this case report is that sunray appearance should be considered a radiographic pattern in benign central tumors such as desmoplastic fibroma by clinicians.
