Thoracic epidural desmoplastic fibroma.

Abstract
Desmoplastic fibroma is a relatively uncommon tumor and rarely involves the spine. The authors describe a 20-year-old woman with a thoracic epidural desmoplastic fibroma treated by complete resection and posterior spinal fusion. Four years after surgery, neither the tumor nor clinical symptoms have recurred. Thus, complete resection is considered necessary to treat this tumor.
