“…It is thought to develop from the tissue of the musculo-aponeurotic system [ 2 ]. Many other terms exist for this entity, including extra-abdominal fibromatosis, desmoid tumor, well differentiated non metastasizing fibrosarcoma and grade I fibrosarcoma [ 5 ]. The classification of fibromatosis has not yet been standardized.…”

“…After the IV injection of gadolinium, tumors may show homogeneous, non-homogeneous or no significant enhancement [ 3 ]. Biopsy is essential, because only histological examination can distinguish between the various forms of the tumor and is important for differential diagnoses [ 5 ]. Tumors may be composed of immature mesenchymal cells or more mature fibroblasts arranged in bundles or fascicles with varying amounts of collagen with rare atypia and mitoses [ 2 ].…”

Fibrous tissue proliferations express a wide spectrum of histologic and morphologic variation in both infants and adults. This ranges from hypertrophic scar formation at one end to malignant fibrosarcoma at the other end of the spectrum. Aggressive fibromatosis is an intermediate tumor which is in proximity to fibrosarcomas. These are locally invasive and often recur after excision, but do not metastasize. Histologically, they are characterized by proliferating fibroblasts with little mitotic activity. Aggressive fibromatosis in the head and neck region is not common, and very sporadically occurs in the oral cavity or jaw bones. Here we report a rare case of aggressive fibromatosis occurring in a 5 year old boy.
