摘要：

Aggressive fibrosis (AF), a fibrous tissue proliferation disorder, is rare and benign but locally aggressive and has a high recurrence rate. A 13-year-old boy with a 9-year history of recurrent AF of the neck previously treated by surgery, chemotherapy, Celebrex, Tamoxifen, and Imatinib presented with another recurrence, this time with hoarseness and ipsilateral vocal cord paralysis. The tumor was extensively debulked but complete surgical resection was impossible and tracheostomy was required. Review of the pediatric literature found no previous case of AF with cranial nerve dysfunction. The high morbidity and recalcitrance of AF to numerous treatments warrants further research.
