Reporting a case of a 4-year-old girl presenting a desmoid tumor at the expense
of the mandibular corpus and the right ascending ramus, with loco-regional infiltration,
and whose treatment consisted of surgical resection of the tumor with Hemi-mandibulectomy
and reconstruction according to the Masquelet technique. Conclusion: The traditional
treatment consists of a large local excision with negative surgical margins. Head
and neck fibromatosis, while rare, present a complex problem as they are often aggressive,
and invade local bone, nerve and muscles, and can leave patients with a cosmetic
deformity.</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">In our case, it was a mandibular reconstruction after a large resection of
a desmoid tumor with a location on the head and neck. With good consolidation, absence
of recurrence, and without aesthetic sequelae at the control.
