Aggressive fibromatosis is a benign tumor which arises from deep musculoaponeurotic structures and can occur anywhere in the body. It is characterized by local invasion and recurrence. It has been reported to occur in the head and neck (H & N) region, with 179 cases documented between 1968 and 2008.
