OBJECTIVE Plantar fibromatosis is a rare benign fibroproliferative disorder of the plantar fascia that can be evaluated on sonography. Our study details the sonographic appearances of plantar fibromatosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of the clinical presentation, sonographic appearances, and clinical progress in 14 patients (range, 35-85 years; mean age, 53.1 yea...

Fibromatoses are a heterogeneous group of distinct entities which differ in biological behaviour, but arehistologically very similar. This group of fibrous tumor or tumor like lesions, present considerable difficulties in pathologic diagnosis. Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) of the oral or para-oral structures is a very uncommon finding and its intra-osseous component is even relatively unusual. S...

PURPOSE To discuss a case of ovarian fibromatosis/massive ovarian oedema, intra-abdominal fibromatosis, sclerosing peritonitis and Meig's syndrome. To review the reported therapeutic options. PATIENTS Case report of a 27-year-old female with the combined pathology of ovarian fibromatosis/massive ovarian oedema, intra-abdominal fibromatosis, sclerosing peritonitis and Meig's syndrome. METHOD...

Fibromatosis is an infiltrative proliferation of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic cells with significant risk for local recurrence, but no metastatic potential. It originates mainly from the fascia or aponeuroses of the abdominal wall muscles or from the muscles of the shoulders and pelvic girdles. Fibromatosis is uncommon in the mammary gland and accounts for less than 0.2% of all primary brea...

The Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber (KTWS) syndrome is a triad of congenital anomalies characterized by hemangiomas, varicosities and unilateral bone and soft tissue hypertrophy. Hypertrophy usually affects one distal limb, but the trunk or face may be affected. Cutaneous hemangiomas (naevus flammeus) of varying extent and irregular contours are often present in the hypertrophic regions. Varicosities m...

Various types of tumor can occur in the subungual space, including glomus tumors, subungual exostosis, hemangioma, epidermal cysts, and malignant tumors. While fibromatosis can occur at various sites throughout the body, it is very rarely seen in the toe. Here, we are the first to report a case of superficial fibromatosis mimicking a glomus tumor in the subungual space of the second toe. The pr...

Traumatic Dental Injury (TDI) is often caused by a bruise from a sports-related incident or fall. In individuals with maxillary protrusion, the risk for TDI may be higher. We treated a patient with Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis (HGF), a rare genetic disorder characterized by proliferative fibrous overgrowth of gingival tissue, who subsequently received a TDI after periodontal surgery. A 13-y...
