A case of cartilage analogue of fibromatosis (CAF) adjacent and inferior to the mandible of a 48-year-old man is reported. CAF is a term currently used by some authors to replace the term juvenile aponeurotic fibroma. Histologically, this apparent variant of fibromatosis is made up of a richly cellular fibroblastic stroma with foci of fibrocartilage or benign chondroid differentiation. Although the CAF may be locally aggressive, malignant behavior has not been reported, and these neoplasms may be adequately managed by conservative surgery. This case appears to be the first case of CAF from paraoral region; however, care examination of previous reports and cases of fibromatosis may indicate that this entity may be more common that the literature suggests.
报告了一例48岁男性下颌骨相邻及下方的纤维瘤病软骨样病变（CAF）病例。CAF是目前一些作者用来替代青少年腱膜纤维瘤这一术语的名称。从组织学上看，这种明显的纤维瘤病变体由富含细胞的成纤维细胞基质组成，伴有纤维软骨或良性软骨样分化灶。虽然CAF可能具有局部侵袭性，但尚未有恶性行为的报道，这些肿瘤通过保守手术即可得到充分治疗。该病例似乎是口周区域CAF的首例；然而，仔细查阅既往关于纤维瘤病的报告和病例可能表明，这种病变可能比文献报道的更为常见。
