Fibromatosis of the submandibular region.

Fibromatoses are benign tumors that can occur anywhere in the body. They are locally aggressive and tend to recur; they also cause considerable morbidity, particularly when they arise in the head and neck. Fibromatosis in the submandibular region is rare. Here, we present a case of fibromatosis of the submandibular region in a 42-year-old female who presented with a right submandibular mass. The patient underwent complete excision of the fibromatosis, showed negative margins and had no adjuvant therapy. Her recovery was uneventful, and there was no recurrence or neurological deficit 1 year after the operation.
