Gardner's syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. Familial polyposis of the colon, osteomas, hypertrophy of the retinal-pigmented layer and a multitude of soft tissue tumors are characteristic features. The syndrome may be presented with colonic or extracolonic symptoms. A 75-year-old male patient presented to Al-zahra Clinic with diffuse abdominal pain. An abdominal surgery wa...

fibromatosis is the non-malignant proliferation of fibroblasts that aggressively invade adjacent tissues. it is composed of well-differentiated cells separated by considerable collagen and/or reticulin. the cause of this abundant growth is unknown, but many suspect hormonal or traumatic influences. when fibromatosis develops in the temporomandibular joint (tmj) or adjoining tissues, its aggress...

Fibromatosis encompasses a broad group of benign fibroblastic proliferations of similar microscopic appearance whose biologic behavior is intermediate between that of benign fibroblastic lesion and fibrosarcoma. Like fibrosarcoma, fibromatosis is characterized by infiltrative growth and frequent recurrences. But, unlike fibrosarcoma, fibromatosis never metastasizes. Fibromatosis can occur in va...

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract and most commonly affects the stomach, while fibromatosis is a rare locally aggressive fibrous tissue neoplasm. There have been reports of GIST and fibromatosis occurring in same individual and in most of them fibromatosis occurs within the abdomen. In 75% of patients fibromatosis occurs aft...

BACKGROUND Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare but invasive tumor infiltrating widely between fascia and muscle fibers. It has a high tendency to be locally recurrent despite complete resection. Effectiveness of adjuvant treatment for aggressive fibromatosis including radiotherapy, pharmacological agents, hormonal treatments, and chemotherapy have been previously reported. The purpose of this art...

La fibromatosis ligamentoide (fibromatosis invasiva, fibroma desmoide) es una neoplasia mesenquimatosa, intermedia entre los tumores benignos y malignos, de origen fibroso, que manera infrecuente puede afectar el mesenterio. Se presenta caso un paciente masculino con tumoración fibrosa intraabdominal a nivel raíz realiza revisión la literatura.

OBJECTIVE Plantar fibromatosis is a rare benign fibroproliferative disorder of the plantar fascia that can be evaluated on sonography. Our study details the sonographic appearances of plantar fibromatosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of the clinical presentation, sonographic appearances, and clinical progress in 14 patients (range, 35-85 years; mean age, 53.1 yea...

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...
