Juvenile female with chest wall fibromatosis located posteriorly to the right breast: radiation therapy or wait and watch?

Abstract

Fibromatosis is a slow-growing monoclonal proliferation of fibroblasts. Although histologically benign it is locally invasive and can recur, however, without metastatic potential. Extra-abdominal fibromatosis is not common. Surgical resection is the cornerstone of treatment and radiation therapy is used in incomplete resection, however, its role is not proved through prospective randomised trials. This article presents a 17-year-old Iranian girl with chest wall fibromatosis located just behind the right breast. The patient was operated with positive margin, however, we decided to postpone radiation therapy because of potential risks.
