Desmoplastic fibroma of the calvarium

A very rare case of desmoplastic fibroma located in the frontal bone is presented. It was discovered in a 29-year-old female who complained of a painful swelling in the right frontal region. The tumour was resected en bloc and there has been no recurrence. Findings on magnetic resonance imaging, angiography and radionuclide bone scans of the tumour are reported. The clinical, neuroradiological and histopathological features are discussed.
