Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Infantile desmoid fibromatosis (IDF) is a rare, benign soft tissue tumor, with locally infiltrative behavior. It presents two forms: solitary and disseminated. This condition can affect any location, although IDF of the mandibular is exceptionally rare. Its locally aggressive nature and proximity to critical anatomical structures present significant management challenges. Its management modalities are still controverted.
