Aggressive Fibromatosis versus Low Grade Fibrosarcoma - a Diagnostic Dilemma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fibromatosis are a group of lesions that can infiltrate widely, replacing muscle, fat and bone with fibrous tissue of varying cellularity. They do not develop distant metastases, however, locally they show an aggressive and infiltrative behaviour. The major challenge in the diagnosis lies in not over or under diagnose of fibrosarcoma and an underdiagnosis of reactive fibrosis. But this histologic differentiation is necessary owing to different treatment strategies.

Aggressive desmoplastic fibromatosis - a clinicians dilemma case report and review of literature.
Fibromatoses are a heterogeneous group of distinct entities which differ in biological behaviour, but arehistologically very similar. This group of fibrous tumor or tumor like lesions, present considerable difficulties in pathologic diagnosis. Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) of the oral or para-oral structures is a very uncommon finding and its intra-osseous component is even relatively unusual. S...
متن کاملBreast fibromatosis mimicking breast carcinoma.
Fibromatosis arising from the breast, also referred to as desmoid tumor, aggressive fibromatosis, or low-grade fibrosarcoma, is a rare benign entity, accounting for only 0.2% of all breast tumors. Associations with familial multicentric fibromatosis and trauma, including that resulting from surgical intervention, have been reported. Awareness of this lesion is important, as the diagnosis has of...
متن کاملNucleolar organiser regions in fibrous proliferations of childhood and infantile fibrosarcoma.
A silver colloid technique to identify nucleolar organiser region associated protein (AgNOR) was applied to 16 fibrous proliferations of childhood and six low grade fibrosarcomas. The fibrous proliferations comprised five cases of infantile digital fibromatosis, seven of infantile desmoid type fibromatosis, and four of infantile myofibromatosis. The AgNORs were visualised as dots within the nuc...
متن کاملPediatric Fibroblastic and Myofibroblastic Tumors
Spectrum of Fibroblastic and Myofibroblastic Tumors When one considers soft tissue tumors in pediatrics, tumors of vascular (29%), neurogenic (15%), and myogenic (striated muscle, 14%) origin occur more often than fibroblastic-myofibroblastic tumors (12%). The spectrum of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumors is quite divergent from both clinical and histopathologic viewpoints (Table 1). These tu...

Aggressive fibromatosis also known as extra abdominal desmoid tumor is an uncommon benign tumor of soft tissue origin with fibroblastic proliferationSince the tumor is locally aggressive, the lesion may be misdiagnosed as low -grade fibrosarcoms. It accounts for 0.03% - 0.1% of all body tumors and 3% of all soft tissue tumors. Only 10% to 15% of these lesions occur in head and neck, usually in ...
