Fibromatosis also termed as desmoids is a rare benign but locally aggressive neoplasm characterized by mass like or infiltrative growth of fibrous tissue. It usually arises from the abdominal wall or the extremities, rarely affects chest wall representing only 8-10% of all deep fibromatosis. Fibromatosis is locally aggressive but does not metastasize. Here, we present a rare case of fibromatosis of scapular region, treated successfully by wide local resection.
