Desmoplastic Fibroma of the Cranium: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Desmoplastic fibroma is a benign bone tumor that can be locally aggressive. It usually occurs in the long bones and mandible. We report on a patient with a desmoplastic fibroma arising in the temporal bone and review previously published cases of desmoplastic fibroma originating within the cranium. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 43-year-old woman presented with a 12-year history of progressively worsening head asymmetry. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography demonstrated a mass originating from the bone and involving the adjacent soft tissues. INTERVENTION: A temporal parietal craniectomy was performed with excision of a large tumor involving the bone. An acrylic cranioplasty was used to replace the bone. Pathological examination of the lesion identified desmoplastic fibroma of the cranium. After surgery, the patient's cranial asymmetry was corrected. CONCLUSION: Desmoplastic fibroma of the cranium is rare. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
