    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical feature and therapy of rare aggressive fibromatosis in the head and neck. METHOD: Clinicopathologic data of 12 cases of aggressive fibromatosis in the head and neck were analysed. All cases underwent surgical excision, one case received radiotherapy in addition to surgery. RESULT: Six cases recurred after cutting off. One of them recurred twice no death was found following operation. CONCLUSION: Aggressive fibromatosis in the head and neck is a rare benign, non-metastatic proliferation tumor of fibrous tissue with a capacity of infiltration to surrounding structures and a tendency of local recurrence after surgical resection. Complete surgical excision was considered to be the only effective method of cure. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be used in unsatisfactory surgical marginal recurrence.
