Desmoid Fibromatosis – A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Desmoid fibromatosis is a rare tumor affecting bone. This tumor histologically and biologically mimics the extra-abdominal desmoid tumor of soft tissue. This is locally infiltrative and aggressive in nature. The reported incidence of such cases is around 2–4 per million population which accounts for 0.03% of all neoplasms. In maxillofacial region, incidence is less than 3% of all cases. Treatment of such tumors is surgical excision and chances of recurrence are more. We hereby report a case of a 23-year-old female patient with desmoid fibromatosis in the mandibular posterior region. [Karagir A Natl J Integr Res Med, 2021; 12(2):69-73]
