Musculoskeletal fibromatosis

Musculoskeletal fibromatoses represent a wide spectrum of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic neoplasms with similar pathologic appearances and variable clinical behavior.

Pathology

They are benign fibrous tissue proliferations characterized by infiltrative growth and a tendency for local recurrence without metastasis ⁴.

Classification

These lesions can be variably categorized by location (superficial or deep) or by the age group predominantly affected. One method is as:

superficial fibromatoses (fascial)
- adults
- children / infants
deep fibromatoses (musculoaponeurotic)
- adults
  - desmoid-type fibromatoses
    - desmoid tumor
- children
  - fibromatosis colli
  - myofibroma
  - myofibromatosis/infantile myofibromatosis/aggressive infantile fibromatosis
