title: [Resection and repair in the management of giant recurrent fibrous tissue tumor].
abstract: The tumor which is originated from fibrous tissue usually infiltrates widely to neighbouring tissues, but show a benign or low malignant biological behavior. Recurrence may readily follow local resection of this kind of tumor, and may extend to important organs, even endangering life. Although it is still difficult to treat this tumor, it is possible to affect a disease-free survival after a proper operation. This paper presents our experience in treating 3 cases of giant recurrent tumor of fibrous tissue. Wide resection of the tumor followed by repair with musculo-cutaneous flap are emphasized in order to achieve a good result.
