Abstract
Fibromatosis is the name given to a locally aggressive fibrous tissue tumour which grows slowly and infiltrates locally but does not metastasise. It may cause morbidity and even death due to local infiltration which is difficult to control surgically. The condition is best categorised as a less aggressive form of fibrosarcoma.
