Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is a very uncommon, benign but locally aggressive fibrogenic
tumor. This report describes the case of a 45-year-old patient with a massive desmoplastic
fibroma of the proximal tibia. A two-staged surgical procedure was successfully performed:
wide resection and endoprosthetic reconstruction. Surgeons should be aware of the
complexity of its treatment in the locally advanced and aggressive cases. A comprehensive
review of the literature is also provided.
