background: aggressive fibromatosis is a rare benign tumor with no potential for metastasis; however, its aggressive nature causes treatment failure and episodes of recurrence. there is no report from iran about the treatment of this tumor, and all published articles are single-case reports, therefore in this study, we report our experience from two of the largest referral centers of the south ...

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...

RATIONALE Intraabdominal fibromatosis is a rare benign tumor that often affects the mesentery or retroperitoneum, and can infiltrate adjacent organs. However, it is rare for fibromatosis to arise from the small intestinal wall. PATIENT CONCERNS A 27-year-old female with a tangible abdominal tumor is described. DIAGNOSES The computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 7.5 cm, small intestine-as...

Mesentery fibromatosis, also called abdominal desmoid, is a rare clinical entity. It is part of the clinical-pathologic spectrum of so-called deep fibromatoses. The deep fibromatoses encompass a group of benign fibroproliferative processes that are locally aggressive; they may infiltrate the adjacent organs or recur, but do not create distant metastatic lesions. The small bowel mesentery is the...

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...

Desmoid tumors represent a particular type of fibromatosis. The common sites for extra-abdominal desmoid tumors, known as aggressive fibromatosis, are the shoulder, chest wall, and thigh. Desmiod tumors are rare at facet joints of the spine. We describe a patient with a desmoid tumor of a lumbar facet joint.

Desmoid tumours are benign monoclonal myofibroblastic neoplasms arising from musculoaponeurotic stromal tissue. They infiltrate local tissue but have no known metastatic potential. The management of desmoid tumours is complicated by their unpredictable nature and rarity, which makes study into their behaviour, and therefore treatment, a challenge. We present a case of intra-abdominal desmoid tu...
