Abstract

An extremely rare case of fibromatosis in a 25-year-old Indian male is reported. The clinical examination and pre-operative findings were suggestive of a benign neoplasm, probably of neurogenic origin. The mass was well circumscribed and could be shelled out en masse. Histopathological examination showed it to be fibromatosis. An external rhinoplasty approach enabled a complete wide excision to be performed without any resulting cosmetic defect.
