Abstract
Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (DF) is primarily a sporadic, rare, benign, soft-tissue tumor with an excellent prognosis and no reported recurrence to date. DF presents as a painless, slow-growing mass with symptoms due to its mass effect. We report a case of a middle-aged man presenting with a right supraclavicular mass and numbness of the right arm, eventually diagnosed as DF. After confirming the diagnosis with imaging and biopsy studies, the tumor was successfully excised using a transcervical approach with no complication or recurrence detected during the 2-year follow-up after surgery. A review of the relevant literature is presented regarding the presentation, diagnosis, and outcomes of published case reports of DF coinciding with those of our discussed case. This case report adds to the pool of uncommon DF cases mainly for its unique symptoms and location. It also highlights the necessity of health education related to painless masses that might be attributed as trivial in the community.
