Six cases of aggressive fibromatosis occurring in the head and neck in children are described. Fibromatosis is a rare, benign but locally infiltrative condition. Primary excision is not always possible in the head and neck areas. It is not always appropriate to treat children using the same modalities as adults due to associated growth problems. The case histories illustrate the management difficulties that can be encountered when treating the paediatric population.
