Abstract:
Fibromatosis in childhood is a rare tumor and also prone to aggressive behavior. This tumor may spread to involve contiguous soft parts and osseous structures, but does not metastasize. We experienced a case of fibromatosis in an 12-year-old giri who complained of palpable masses in the region of the right buttock and right foot. The case has been followed for 6-years since February 1973. Bony change has occured even after several attempts of surgical excision but a distant metastasis has not occured.
