Abstract

Aggressive fibromatosis is a neoplastic lesion derived from musculoaponeurotic tissue. By its ability to spread locally and infiltratively, it mimics a low-grade malignant tumor. Wide excision is the recommended primary therapy but recurrences are numerous. We report a primary pelvic fibromatosis arising from retroperitoneum, which managed by surgical excision and radiation therapy.
