title: Nuchal Fibroma : A rare entity of neck masses.
abstract: A nuchal fibroma is a rare benign mass; it is a fibrolipoma-like soft tissue mass, usually located in the lower back and the neck. Males are affected far more often than females. It can occur extranuchally. It is a slow growing tumor and usually asymptomatic. We present a rare case of a 39-year old female who was diagnosed with nuchal-type fibroma on final pathology. The proper management for this type of tumor is complete excision.
