Abstract 

We present a rare case of recurrent aggressive fibromatosis of the maxilla in a 61-year-old woman, who was treated by resection of the left maxilla. Adjuvant treatments, particularly radiotherapy, are valuable if the tumour recurs.

Keywords: Aggressive fibromatosis, Desmoid tumor, Maxilla
