Abstract

Fibromatosis is a broad group of benign fibroblastic proliferation that shows locally aggressive growth but never metastasize. Common anatomic sites include abdominal wall, extremity, and mesentery. Little is reported about clini-cal features and outcome of fibromatosis of the head and neck. The treatment of choice is wide excision, which is of-ten difficult. Postoperative recurrence rates are high. We recently confirmed a unique case of fibromatosis occurred on the hypopharynx of 44-year-old male patient and report this interesting case with review of literature.

Key Words: Fibromatosis, Hypopharynx
