“…The insult typically takes the form of a severe blow, prior surgical incision, or forcible muscular contraction (as may occur during parturition). While there is no clearcut evidence for hormonal influence, the increased incidence of fibromatosis in females together with reports documenting occurrence with pregnancy [5,6] lead inferentially to that possibility. Finally, there are now reported many cases of fibromatosis in association with Gardner's syndrome [7,8], suggesting a genetic predisposition.…”

Fibromatosis is an uncommon, relatively benign though locally infiltrating neoplasm consisting of well-differentiated fibroblasts surrounded by collagen bundles. The majority of the literature suggests that prevention of local recurrence mandates wide (en bloc) excision. Few more than a dozen cases of primary breast fibromatosis have been reported. Herein the clinical characteristics, diagnostic evaluation, and therapeutic options are presented. Management should be based upon principles utilized for extra-mammary primary disease-en bloc resection. This may require total mastectomy and removal of pectoralis major muscle. Breast reconstruction should be deferred for a minimum of 3 years, during which time the majority of recurrences will have become manifest.

“…Therefore, the reasonable approach for treatment of even fibromatosis of the head and neck is complete surgical excision to avoid recurrences 11. However, in our case there was no fibromatous change (rather there was hyperplasia of muscle) seen in the muscle, thus differentiating it from sternocleidomastoid pseudotumor or fibromatosis coli and precluding the option of anti-inflammatory drug therapy.…”

Diffuse idiopathic hyperplasia of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in a child

Unilateral diffuse or localized enlargement of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) is an event commonly seen in infancy, and is popularly known as ‘sternocleidomastoid tumor’. The condition, which usually spontaneously resolves with or without physiotherapy, is due to a hematoma following a difficult labor. The muscle regains its elasticity and complete function. In some infants it resolves with fibromatous changes in the muscle leading to shortening, fibrosis and finally culminating in torticollis. We describe a case of idiopathic diffuse enlargement of unilateral SCM in a 12-year-old child without any functional compromise or torticollis. The histopathological and clinical characteristics differentiating it from more commonly described sternocleidomastoid tumor or fibromatosis coli are described. We believe this is the first case report of idiopathic hyperplasia of SCM.

“…Intracranial AF tends to display different characteristics: a younger age and higher recurrence rate [8,9,10,11]. Most cases of AF are sporadic; however, other cases can also occur in association with familial adenomatous polyposis as part of Gardner's syndrome [12,13,14]. …”

“…AF in the temporal fossa generally presents as a painless swelling in the muscle or bone but not in the skin [20,21]. Other functional deficits, including speech impairment, dysphasia, nasal obstruction, and difficulty in moving or closing the eye, have been reported [13,21]. Due to the presence of an unclosed fontanel and suture (fig.…”

Infantile Intracranial Aggressive Fibromatosis: Report of Two Cases with a Review of the Literature

Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) is characterized by a nonmetastatic fibroblastic proliferative lesion that is histologically benign with infiltrative growth and frequent recurrence. To our knowledge, infantile AF is rarely reported. There are no clear guidelines regarding the management and treatment strategies for intracranial infantile AF because of its rarity. In China, there are few reports in the clinical literature concerning intracranial infantile AF. We describe 2 cases of intracranial infantile AF and review the relevant literature to better understand the pathological features, differential diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
