- Abstract
We present of rare case of multifocal fibromatosis in a 52 year-old women. In 1996, she was first evaluated for a tumour of the right breast and on the basis of the surgical specimen the extra-abdominal fibromatosis was diagnosed. Four years later, she was reevaluated for the tumor of the right lung, and then in 2001 for the lesion of the right parietal pleura. Microscopic examination of pulmonary and pleural lesions revealed histological pattern almost identical with the breast tumor. The recurrent lesions were located proximally to the primary one.
