Radiological imaging of a case of desmoplastic fibroblastoma in the chest wall. a Chest radiograph demonstrating soft tissue thickening at the right lateral upper chest wall (arrowhead). b Axial view of a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrating the location of the tumor (arrowhead) and cortical bone erosion of the second rib (arrow). c, d Coronal view of a dynamic contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrating the line of abundant vascularity at the periphery of the tumor during the early phase (c) and homogeneous enhancement during the delayed phase (d). e Coronal view of gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with fat suppression, demonstrating inhomogeneous enhancement in the tumor, as well as rim-like contrast enhancement with uniform thickness at the tumor periphery (arrow)
