Key clinical message: Desmoplastic fibroma presents similar to other soft tissue tumors to such an extent that even a gold standard investigation can miss.
Abstract: This is to report a mass in a 47-year-old male arising from the chest wall, which was first thought to be a hemangioma but was later diagnosed as a case of desmoplastic fibroblastoma with the help of a biopsy.
Keywords: chest wall tumors; desmoplastic fibroblastoma; hemangioma; soft tissue tumors; subcutaneous fibroblastoma.
