“…However, other anatomic sites of origin were also reported less frequently, such as the back (3,5,(20)(21)(22) chest (20,21), shoulder (5,19,22,27,30,32), scapula (2,5,19), thigh (21), buttock (25,31), scalp (3,21,26), sacral region (28), mouth floor (33), eyebrow (29) and coccyx (23) ( Table I). A nuchal-type fibroma usually presents itself as a subcutaneous, soft-tissue, firm mass (3, 5, 6, 8, 12-19, 21, 25, 29, 32) that can be fixed or mobile (6,8,11,14,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) and painless or mildly tender (1, 3, 4, 7, 14, 16-19, 21, 24-28, 31, 33) (Table II) (Table III).…”

Background: Nuchal-type fibroma is a rare benign tumor arising from the connective tissue. Our aim was to present our experience via two cases of this tumor and a comprehensive review of the literature. Patients and Methods: We report a case of a 23-year-old female with a mass located in the posterior neck and the upper back and a case of a 50-year-old male with a mass located in the posterior neck, which were proved to be nuchal-type fibromas in the histopathological examination. We also searched the PubMed/Medline database for published cases of nuchal-type fibromas. Results and Discussion: Nuchaltype fibroma is a rare benign tumor arising from the connective tissue, usually in the posterior neck, which affects different ages, with most patients being male. It is a poorly circumscribed tumor consisting of hypocellular, thick, dense and haphazardly arranged collagen bundles with entrapped adipocytes, nerve fibers and muscle fascicles and a few scattered spindle cells, which are CD34 positive. Its excision is curative, and the recurrence risk is generally low. However, patients with Gardner's syndrome may experience recurrence more frequently. Conclusion: Nuchal-type fibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous, soft-tissue masses, especially when these involve the posterior neck. Nuchal-type fibroma is a rare benign tumor arising from the connective tissue (1). It is usually located in the posterior neck (2-18) and affects different ages (5), with most patients being male (1-3, 5-13, 17, 19-29). Since the first description of nuchal-type fibroma by Enzinger and Weiss in 1988 (1), over than 100 cases have been reported in the literature (1-33). Herein, we report a case of a 23-year-old female with a mass located in the posterior neck and the upper back and a case of a 50-year-old male with a mass located in the posterior neck. Both cases were proved to be nuchal-type fibromas in the histopathological examination. We present a review of all the reported cases of this entity in the literature.
