2014, International Journal of Pediatric OtorhinolaryngologyCitation Excerpt :Fibromatosis do not metastasize, however without adequate resection, they are locally aggressive and tend to recur [4,11]. Overall recurrence rates in the literature are reported around 50% [13]. In our review of those within the head and neck, and those that received primary surgery, the recurrence rate is 19% (Table 3).

Pediatric aggressive fibromatosis of the head and neck: a 20-year retrospective review
2008, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Chemotherapy may be a reasonable alternative to radiotherapy in a growing child [32], though there is an inherent risk of secondary malignancies, fertility problems, cardiotoxicity [11,50], and neutropenia [51]. Chemotherapy has been considered for delay of progression of aggressive fibromatosis until children are considered old enough for radiotherapy [43] or surgery [32]. There is no strong evidence that chemotherapy agents are efficacious, and possible role may be with a rapid growing tumor to obtain local control [17].
