摘要
Fibromatoses form an interesting group of tumors occupying a midposition in the spectrum of fibrous tissue neoplasms. Within the fibromatoses subgroups there exists a variety of tumors whose clinical behavior spans the range from completely benign to locally aggressive. Four case histories are presented to illustrate this point. All four patients were initially seen with asymptomatic head or neck masses. The first had complete excision with no recurrence to date. The second underwent spontaneous regression after confirmation of diagnosis with biopsy. The third case had a very locally aggressive disease requiring three surgical resections to date, while the last case had one recurrence after the initial resection. With certain exceptions, initial wide local excision offers the best possible chance for cure. © 1993.
