fibromatosis

Fibromatosis is a condition characterized by the abnormal growth of fibrous tissue, forming a mass or tumor in the body. Although these growths are usually benign (not cancerous), they can be locally aggressive, meaning they can invade nearby tissues and recur after removal. Fibromatosis can develop in various parts of the body, such as the limbs, abdomen, or head and neck. It is often associated with genetic factors or previous injury, and treatment typically involves surgery, radiation, or medications to control growth and prevent recurrence.
