Özkan G, Kılcı G , Trak BG and Günhan Ö

Fibromatosis is an increase in the amount of connective tissue due to hyperplasia in connective tissue cells. Desmoid tumor, also called aggressive fibromatosis, is locally aggressive and does not show metastasis. If this tumor is not treated, it continues to grow frequently. Recurrence rate is high after treatment. Due to its aggressive nature, wide resection is recommended. In our case, a 27-year-old male patient had a desmoid tumor in the left upper premolar region. The patient was referred to the surgical clinic and the tumor was removed by wide excision.
