Large soft tissue tumor of the chest occurring after trauma.
The unusual soft tissue tumor we have described may be the largest yet reported. The tumor was considered benign, and its histologic features were most consistent with fibromatosis arising in a region that had been previously traumatized. Although the patient is doing well, it is premature (2 years later) to conclude that the tumor will not recur.
