AB: We experienced a very rare case with fibromatoses of multicentric origin. One of the 2 intraabdominal fibromatoses showed a extremely rapid growing and another fibromatosis arising from the abdominal wall showed an invasive behavior. All lesions were diagnosed and resected simultaneously. This patient has been followed for 2 years postoperatively and no recurrent lesion has been detected so far.
