An extremely rare case of fibromatosis in a 25-year-old Indian male is reported. The clinical examination and pre-operative findings were suggestive of a benign neoplasm, probably of neurogenic origin. The mass was well circumscribed and could be shelled out en masse. Histopathological examination showed it to be fibromatosis. An external rhinoplasty approach enabled a complete wide excision to...

Desmoid type fibromatosis is a benign fibroblastic tumor arising from the fascia or musculoaponeurosis. It may occur in various locations, but most commonly in the shoulder girdle and neck; to our knowledge, there has been no reported case originating from a facet joint of the spine. We report CT and MR imaging findings of a desmoid type fibromatosis, involving the facet joint of the L3-4 spine...

Abstract Sever gingival fibromatosis may cause bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. In these patients, multidisciplinary approaches by collaboration within several specialists, orthodontics, periodontics, and oral & maxillofacial surgeons is mandatory to obtain a good result. Orthognathic surgery can be used to correct dentofacial deformity that has positive effects on facial esthetic in some ...

Purpose. This paper describes the functional and oncologic outcome of 30 cases (in 29 patients) treated with limb-salvage surgery for localized soft tissue sarcoma (STS) or fibromatosis of the foot and ankle.Subjects. Patients were eligible for the study if they had a STS or fibromatosis in the distal one-third of the tibia or the foot such that ablative surgery would require a below-knee amput...

Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare tumour with unpredictable growth and varying recurrence rates. It doesn't develop distant metastases but locally it shows an aggressive and infiltrative behaviour. It is never encapsulated and is rich in collagen and proliferative fibroblasts that are devoid of atypical nuclei. The degree of cellularity varies from area to area and from tumour to tumour. A rare...

REAST fibromatosis is a rare kind of lesion. The average incidence is about 2-4 per million every year. So far there have been about 100 cases reported altogether. In this report, we describe a case of breast fibromatosis developed after hydrophilic polyacrylamide gel (HPG) injection for breast augmentation. By reviewing the literature, the possible pathogenesis of this case and the proper trea...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The massive edema of ovary, with or without fibromatosis, is a rare tumor-like entity characterized by an increase in volume of one or both ovaries for accumulation of edema fluid in the stroma that separates the follicular structures. CASE We report a rare case, very peculiar also for its association with a massive stromal fibromatosis and for the presence, never des...

Fibromatosis colli is an uncommon benign, congenital fibrous tumor or pseudotumor of the sternocleidomastoid muscle that manifests in infancy. In some of these patients tightening of the muscle results in torticollis. We report the case of a 3-week-old child, who presented with a neck mass localized in the left side with reduced mobility of the head. The diagnosis of fibromatosis colli was rais...

Aggressive fibromatosis arising from the retroperitoneum is extremely rare. It may occur in association with previous trauma, abdominal surgery, drugs, Gardner's syndrome, or familial adenomatous polyposis. We report a case of retroperitoneal fibromatosis presenting as a presacral mass with an infiltrating nature, relatively intense enhancement on enhanced computed tomography scanning, and low-...

Fibromatoses comprise many different entities of well-differentiated fibroblastic proliferation with variable collagen production and form a firm nodular mass. Abdominal fibromatosis is distinguishable from other forms of fibromatosis because of its location and its tendency to occur in women of childbearing age during or following pregnancy. Abdominal fibromatosis in children is an extremely r...
