Fibromatosis aggressiva of parapharyngeal space – a case report and review of literature.
Journal Title: Polski Przegląd Otorynolaryngologiczny - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Desmoid fibromatosis is defined as a rare fibroblastic proliferation. Although histologically benign, desmoids are locally invasive and associated with a high local recurrence rate. When located in the head and neck region, fibromatosis tends to be more aggressive and associated with significant morbidity, which may be attributed to the proximity of the vital structures. We report a case of 33-year-old woman with aggressive fibromatosis of parapharyngeal space. Complete surgical excision of the lesion was performed and the postoperative period was without complications. The patient remains under careful follow-up and there is no recurrence of the disease.
