ABSTRACT
We report a case of desmoid fibromatosis of the anterior chest wall. Deep fibromatosis or desmoid tumour is a low-grade, soft tissue lesion that is notable for its local infiltration and most commonly occurs in the abdomen. Deep fibromatosis of the chest wall is a rare condition.
A 17 year old male presented with an anterior chest wall swelling since 2 months, not associated with pain, gradually increasing in size with features of extension into skeletal muscle on radiology. On Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, it was diagnosed as a spindle cell tumour and a wide local excision of the tumour was done.
Keywords: Fibromatosis, Soft tissue tumour, Chest wall Swelling, Desmoid Tumour.
