Abstract

Aggressive fibromatosis (AF), also known as ligamentoid fibromatosis and desmoid tumor, is a fibroblast clonoproliferative lesion located in the deep soft tissue. The present study reports the case of a 36‑year‑old female with AF who underwent cervical spinal cord ependymoma surgery. AF developed in the soft tissue of the neck adjacent to the incision site. The size of the neck AF increased rapidly over 2 years, and due to discomfort, the patient underwent initial surgical resection without any other combined treatment methods. When the patient was routinely reviewed at 6 months post‑surgery, a recurrence of AF of the neck was found. The patient was recommended surgical resection and radiotherapy. This case report should improve the understanding of clinicians with regard to AF, and help the diagnostic process and treatment plan.
