Mammary fibromatosis is an uncommon, benign tumor of the breast. It is locally aggressive and has a high rate of recurrence. Its clinical presentation and imaging results always call for suspicion of malignancy. Here we describe a case of mammary fibromatosis with clinical manifestation, radiographic and pathologic results, and imaging findings from ultrasound elastography.

Juvenile byaline fibromatosis is a rare connective tissue disorder, characterized by skin tumours, gingival hypertrophy and flexion contractures of the acral joints. Other associations include stunted growth, osteolytic changes and muscle weakness. The mental development is normal. Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis probably has an autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by increased synthesi...

Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome is the current name for clinical manifestations of diseases previously known as "infantile systemic hyalinosis" and "juvenile hyaline fibromatosis". The authors report representative clinical cases of each one of the above subtypes with emphasis on cutaneous manifestations and difficulties for early diagnosis in this syndrome, essentially of multidisciplinary appro...

Mesenteric fibromatosis is a part of the clinical-pathologic spectrum of deep fibromatoses. We report this rare case of primary mesenteric tumor that was diagnosed to be a mesenteric fibromatosis on histopathological examination. In majority of patients it may remain asymptomatic and the management of these tumors depends on histopathological examination. Postoperatively, patient was well and s...

Fibromatosis also known as desmoid tumour is a rare monoclonal fibroblastic proliferative disease, classified as superficial or deep [1]. Active systemic treatments, in case local treatment fails to control the disease, include antiinflammatory drugs and antiestrogens (e.g. tamoxifen) [1]. The physiologic mechanism that underlies the pharmacological response of fibromatosis to antiestrogens is ...

BACKGROUND Pachydermodactyly is a rare, benign, acquired form of digital fibromatosis. The etiology of pachydermodactyly is unknown but is believed to be due to repeated mechanical injury of the skin. We report 2 cases identified in poultry processing workers and review other conditions associated with these cutaneous findings. OBSERVATIONS The 2 workers in this report were employed as a chic...

AIM Gingival Fibromatosis is characterised by a large increase in the gingival dimension which extends above the dental crowns, covering them partially or completely. The causes of the disease may have a genetic origin, in which case gingival hyperplasia may occur in isolation or be part of a syndrome, or acquired origin, which comes from specific drugs administered systemically. A form of ging...
