Abstract
Pediatric facial masses are infrequently encountered and consequently include a wide differential diagnosis. Desmoplastic fibromas (DFs) are rarely encountered in the maxillofacial region and are hence seldom considered in a child with a facial mass; they are classified as fibrous intraosseous tumors with a poorly understood pathogenesis.
