Familial aggressive fibromatosis of the lower extremities. A report of two cases.
Aggressive fibromatosis occurred in a father and his son. Both are alive without signs of recurrence 3 and 10 years after below-knee amputation and exarticulation of the hip joint, respectively. When possible, this tumour should be excised radically.
