title: Juvenile fibromatosis.
abstract: Juvenile fibromatosis is a benign lesion with locally aggressive characteristics. Wide surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Radiation therapy can be used for inoperable cases or as adjunctive therapy. Steroid therapy has not been used extensively and deserves further evaluation. In the head and neck area, juvenile fibromatosis must be very carefully diagnosed and treated due to the serious consequences that result from inadequate control.
