Desmoplastic fibromas are rare benign bone tumors occurring primarily in long bones and mandible. In this case report, we present a desmoplastic fibroma originating from the left frontal bone. This is an exceptionally rare presentation of this pathology and the associated imaging and pathologic slides are highly educational. We discuss the relevance to the literature and how to manage these patients clinically.
