Abstract
Fibromatosis, also known as desmoid tumor, is a rare disease. Breast fibromatosis is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of breast and abdominal aggressive fibromatosis in a woman to discuss optimal treatment management.

Fibromatosis, known as desmoid tumor, is a rare disease
During staging work-up thorax tomography noted the involvement of pectoralis muscle and abdominal tomography revealed a similar-looking another lesion located on abdominal wall, right paraumblical region and trucut biopsy was the same as breast pathology (Fig 2)
Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare fibroblastic proliferation arising in musculoaponeurotic structure
Summary
Fibromatosis, known as desmoid tumor, is a rare disease. Breast fibromatosis is extremely rare and represents 4% of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors and 0,2% of all breast tumors. Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) arises from fibroblasts and it can be located at any part of the body. It is benign, it is locally aggressive. The cause of the AF is uncertain and can be related to trauma, hormonal factors or genetic association [1]. The AF of the breast generally occurs in implant-associated breast or a history of trauma (often surgical) [2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. We present a case of breast and abdominal AF in a woman to discuss optimal treatment management
