Abstract
Desmoid fibromatosis is also known as aggressive fibromatosis. It is a neoplastic monoclonal proliferation of fibroblasts, with an incidence of 2 to 4 per million per year. Its incidence peaks at 8 years of age and in the third/fourth decades of life.Here we discussed a patient in third decade of life who presented with unilateral nasal blockage with a picture suggestive of sinonasal polyposis on examination. On histopathology, he was diagnosed with Desmoid fibromatosis.Though a rare entity, Desmoid fibromatosis should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for appropriate patient management. As per our knowledge, in India this is the first documented case of desmoid fibromatosis arising from maxillary sinus.
