Summary
This case report details multicentric fibromatosis, a rare benign neoplasm. Multimodal treatment prioritized limb salvage, requiring adjuvant therapies due to limited resection.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Extra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis is a rare, benign fibroblastic tumor.
- Characterized by infiltrative growth and high local recurrence rates.
Observation:
- A rare case of multicentric fibromatosis presented with large tumors due to minimal initial symptoms.
- Treatment focused on limb salvage, necessitating a multimodal approach.
Findings:
- Multimodal treatment included limb salvage surgery, adjuvant radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
- These adjuvant therapies were crucial due to the decision to forgo wide resections to preserve limb function.
Implications:
- This case highlights the challenges in managing extensive fibromatosis while preserving function.
- Demonstrates the role of adjuvant therapies in achieving oncological control and functional outcomes in complex cases.
