Desmoplastic fibroma of bone. Case report and literature review
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica
|April 1, 1984
Abstract:
A case is described of the rare, benign intraosseous desmoplastic fibroma, occurring in the humerus of a 20-year-old woman. A total of 121 cases is briefly reviewed and a table of 78 references dealing with desmoplastic fibroma is given. Treatment with indomethacin and ascorbic acid is proposed for cases of desmoplastic fibroma of bone when mutilating operations are the alternative or in inoperable patients.

01:55Bone Structure
Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.
01:40Bone Remodeling
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
