title: Nuchal fibroma.
abstract: Nuchal fibroma was diagnosed in a 54-year-old diabetic woman with a two year history of increased skin thickness of her low-posterior neck and interscapular region, causing discomfort and limitation of neck and arm motion. Physical and laboratory examinations excluded further disorders. The patient was released, free from symptoms, after complete excision of the soft tissue tumor.
