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...

BACKGROUND EMO syndrome, defined as a triad including exophthalmus, pretibial myxedema and osteoarthropathia, is a rare condition in patients suffering from hyperthyreosis. CASE PRESENTATION We here describe an interesting case of EMO syndrome associated with unilateral fibromatosis of the hand and an initial stage of generalized myxedema of the skin. To our knowledge a similar case has not y...

This work presents a case report of a generalized form of hereditary gin­ gival fibromatosis with hemophilia B as an accompanying disease. In the family of proband, consisting of 28 members, fibromatosis was present in 9 (4 males and 5 females). The pedigree analysis confirmed that gingival fibro­ matosis was transmited through three generations as an autosomal dominant trait. Neither proband, ...
