Abstract

Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor affecting mainly the subcutaneous and muscle tissue. Only five cases identified in the oral cavity have been reported in prior literature. This article presents a case report of a 56-year-old man, with no previous history of trauma, who presented a slow-growing mass in the buccal mucosa. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry staining studies were performed, and a diagnosis of the desmoplastic fibroblastoma was made. The patient has been disease-free for one year.
