Fibromatosis: a rare benign tumor in the face
The 40-year-old white female patient complained of increased volume on face with no relevant past medical history. Extraoral physical examination showed painless volume increase in the right hemiface with 2 years of evolution, involving the parotid and masseter region, which was firm to palpation extending to the oral cavity without causing changes in the mucosa. Computed tomography scan of the face showed a calcified, multilocular, expansive lesion with precise limits invading chewing space on the right side causing erosion in the mandibular ramus.
