Evans et al1 in 1995 described desmoplastic
fibroblastoma (DF) as a benign soft tissue tumor.1 A
comprehensive report on DF was published in 1996 by
Neilsen et al.2In the Neilsen et al case series the lesion was categorized as fibrous

Based on the histopathological observation of Neilsen et al, the term
collagenous fibroma was suggested for DF.2
