ABSTRACT
Fibromatosis is a benign tumor arising from the musculoaponeurotic tissues of the body. The natural history of fibromatosis is slow, progressive growth with invasion of adjacent tissues but this tumor has no malignant or metastatic potential. Complete surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. However, it is often difficult due to the complex anatomy, close proximity of vital structures in the head and neck region. Preoperative core needle biopsy and MR images can make it possible to diagnose preoperatively and outline the tumor extent, which are very important to treat patients with fibromatosis. In this report, a rare case of fibromatosis occurring in the levator scapulae muscle is presented with a review of literatures.
