Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is considered as an extremely rare locally aggressive bone tumor with the clinical
presentation of pain and swelling in the affected site most likely the metaphysic of long bones. Most of the times, a
clinical confusion may occur due to the histological and biological similarity with extra abdominal desmoids tumor of

year-old male, who presented to the Outpatient Department with swelling and pain over right wrist. Thus, we present a
classic case of DF exhibiting characteristic features along with a review of the literature.
