“…Although radiotherapy is useful to effect tumor death, early and late complications should always be kept in mind. In addition, monitoring should be done for radiation-induced breast carcinomas after radiotherapy for anterior chest wall tumors in young women (2). Postoperative radiotherapy was not applied to our patient due to her age.…”

“…Fibromatosis is a benign, slow-growing tumor without any metastatic potential (1). These tumors are classified as superficial or deep (2). Deep fibromatosis, also known as desmoid tumors or aggressive fibromatosis (AF), can be intra-abdominal, within the abdominal wall, or extraabdominal.…”

“…Aggressive fibromatosis, also known as desmoid tumors, can be seen at any location of the body; however, the abdomen, including abdominal wall, retroperitoneum and intra-abdominal, as well as soft tissues of the extremities, shoulder, neck and chest wall are sites of predilection (4,5). These are rare fibrous tissue proliferations with a tendency for slow, local infiltrative growth.…”

Background: Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare benign tumor with no potential for metastasis; however, its aggressive nature causes treatment failure and episodes of recurrence. There is no report from Iran about the treatment of this tumor, and all published articles are single-case reports, therefore in this study, we report our experience from two of the largest referral centers of the South of Iran. Methods: During five years (2007-2011), among more than 20000 surgical pathology specimens, 25 cases of fibromatosis were identified. Clinicopathologic findings were recorded for all of the cases, and follow up history according to the patients’ charts and direct contact by phone call were extracted. Results: There were 25 cases of fibromatosis, with female predominance, especially in the reproductive ages. All of the tumors had been located in the abdominal area, lower extremity, and head and neck area. Twenty-three cases had been operated for surgical excision. Fifteen cases had at least one episode of recurrence, mostly located in the abdominal area. No death or metastasis occurred. Conclusion: Clinicopathologic findings of desmoid tumor in Iran are very similar to other countries, however, there is still much controversy about the method of treatment for fibromatosis, and there are many challenges for patients, regarding multiple episodes of recurrence and the infiltrative aggressive nature of fibromatosis.

Background Pulmonary fibromatosis (PF) is a specific variant of fibromatosis, which is rarely reported occurring in the lung. PF with HIPK2-YAP1 fusion was a novel entity. Case presentation In this report, a 66-year-old male with PF had been smoking over 40 years. Multiple cords and small nodules in both lungs had been detected in a health examination two years earlier at our hospital. But approximately twofold enlarged in the lingual segment of the upper lobe in the left lung were disclosed in this year. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the vimentin and β-Catenin were positive in the largest nodule. After underwent a DNA/RNA panel next-generation sequencing (NGS), missense mutations and HIPK2-YAP1 fusion were found in this sample. Ultimately, the case diagnosis as PF with HIPK2-YAP1 fusion after multidisciplinary treatment. Currently, the patient is doing well and recurrence-free at 14 months post-surgery. Conclusions It’s difficult for patients with complex morphology to make accurate diagnosis solely based on morphology and immunohistochemistry. But molecular detection is an effective method for further determining pathological subtypes.
