title: [Desmoid fibroma of the scapula. Recurrence with pulmonary metastasis].
abstract: A 22 year old woman presented with a desmoid tumour located in the subspinal fossa of the right scapula. A recurrence was observed 3 years after local excision. This recurrence was accompanied by pulmonary metastases. A new excision of the tumour and a pulmonary biopsy confirmed the similarity of that tumour with the original one. Six years after the initial operation the pulmonary lesions extended in spite of chemotherapy. The pulmonary metastases of the desmoid fibromata are exceptional and only three cases have been described in literature, with fatal outcome.
