【 摘 要 】

Extra-abdominal fibromatosis is a benign fibrous neoplasm of locally aggressive behavior. Surgical excision with a wide margin is the treatment of choice. The aim of the present work is to report the case of fibromatosis in an 11-year-old melanodermic patient, who showed swelling in the area of the right mandible. Conservative surgery was performed based on the initial histopathological diagnosis of benign lesion suggestive of neural origin. The new anatomopathological examination of the surgical specimen was compatible with fibromatosis. The patient is still under periodic observation as part of the five-year surgical follow-up, showing no signs of recurrence.
