Overview
Fibromatosis is a rare condition characterized by the growth of benign (non-cancerous) tumors in the connective tissue, most commonly affecting the fascia, ligaments, and tendons. These tumors, known as fibromas, can occur anywhere in the body but are often found in the limbs, abdomen, and chest.
Symptoms
The symptoms of fibromatosis vary depending on the location of the tumors. Common signs include a noticeable lump or mass, pain, and restricted movement if the growth affects joints or muscles. The condition can also lead to discomfort and swelling in the affected area.

Diagnosis & Treatment
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound, and sometimes a biopsy to confirm the nature of the growth. Treatment options depend on the size, location, and aggressiveness of the fibroma. These may include watchful waiting, surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, or medications like anti-inflammatory drugs or hormonal therapy to manage symptoms or slow growth.
