    Author: Stephens N, Ahsan F, Murray DP, Hussain A, Chapman AD.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2003 Apr; 82(4):322-5. PubMed ID: 12735165.
    Abstract:
    Head and neck fibromatosis is a rare disease with a variable clinical picture. We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who had a 1-week history of a painless mass overlying her right neck. Histology confirmed a diagnosis of extra-abdominal fibromatosis. Two unusual features of this case were the site of the lesion and its rapid growth. In this article, we discuss the clinical picture of head and neck fibromatosis, its etiology and pathology, and current opinion regarding its treatment.
