Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Nuchal fibroma is a rare soft tissue tumor.
  • Diabetes mellitus can be associated with various skin conditions.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old woman presented with a two-year history of increased skin thickness in the low-posterior neck and interscapular region.
  • Symptoms included discomfort and limited neck and arm motion.

Findings:

  • Physical and laboratory examinations ruled out other disorders.
  • Histopathological diagnosis confirmed nuchal fibroma.
  • Complete surgical excision of the tumor was performed.

Implications:

  • Nuchal fibroma, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck masses.
  • Surgical excision is an effective treatment for symptomatic nuchal fibromas.
  • Management of associated conditions, such as diabetes, is important.
