Abstract

Fibromatosis represents a group of fibroblastic proliferationsthat vary from benign to intermediate in biological behavior. Itcan be classified as superficial or deep. Aggressive fibromatosis(AF) does not cause distant metastasis, the potential for localinvasion and recurrence is very high. AF can be seen in varioussites, including extra-abdominal, abdominal wall and intraabdominallocations. It is rare in the extra-abdominal areaand may involve the muscles of the shoulder, pelvis andthigh. AF of the chest wall is rare, representing only 8-10%of all deep fibromatoses. Cross-sectional imaging modalities,especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can be used todetect, characterize and show the extension of these tumorsinto adjacent tissues. MRI is superior to CT in the radiologicalevaluation of soft tissues. The signal intensity of AF variesdepending on the collagen and water content of the cell. Aradical surgical resection strategy with a safe margin (2-3 cm)remains the standard therapeutic approach for AF. However,radiotherapy is a significant treatment challenge, especially foryoung women. Herein, we present a 25-year-old female patientwith recurrent chest wall AF extending to the breast, along withclinical findings, MR images, and histopathological findings.

Özet

Fibromatozis biyolojik davranışı benign ve intermediate arasında değişen bir grup fibroblastik proliferasyonu temsil eder. Yüzeyel ve derin olarak sınıflandırılabilir. Agresif fibromatozis (AF) uzak metastaz yapmaz ancak lokal invazyon ve rekürrens potansiyeli çok yüksektir. AF, ekstraabdominal, intrabdominal ve karın duvarında olmak üzere çeşitli yerlerde görülebilir. Ekstraabdominal alanda nadir olup omuz, pelvis ve uyluk kaslarında görülebilir. Göğüs duvarının AF’si nadir olup tüm derin fibromatozların yalnızca %8-10’unu temsil eder. Kesitsel görüntüleme yöntemleri, özellikle manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG), bu tümörleri saptamak, karakterize etmek ve komşu yumuşak dokulara yayılımını göstermek amacıyla kullanılabilir. MRG, yumuşak dokuların radyolojik değerlendirmesinde bilgisayarlı tomografiye (BT) oldukça üstündür. AF’nin sinyal intensitesi hücrenin kollajen ve su içeriğine bağlı olarak değişkenlik göstermektedir. AF’nin standart tedavisi güvenli marjlı (2-3 cm) radikal cerrahi rezeksiyondur. Bununla birlikte, radyoterapi, özellikle genç kadınlar için önemli tedavi yöntemlerindendir. Biz burada meme dokusuna uzanımlı rekürren göğüs duvarı AF’si olan 25 yaşında bayan hastayı klinik bulguları, MRG görüntüleri ve histopatalojik bulguları ile birlikte sunmayı amaçladık.
