FDG PET/CT and Bone Scintigraphy in Desmoplastic Fibroma of the Bone

Desmoplastic fibroma is a very rare benign bone tumor with local aggressiveness. We describe imaging findings in 2 cases with desmoplastic fibroma of the bone. One case had a desmoplastic fibroma in the right distal femur, showing bone destruction with sclerotic margins and inhomogeneous FDG uptake. The other case had a desmoplastic fibroma in the left ninth rib, showing progressive peripheral enhancement and increased 99m Tc-MDP uptake.
