Abstract
Synchronous multicentric aggressive fibromatosis does not appear to have been previously reported. Two such cases are described. The tumors were identified by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The incidence of synchronous multicentric aggressive fibromatosis is not known. It is anticipated that increased use of coronal MR imaging will reveal more tumors of this type, both synchronous and metachronous. In a patient with known or suspected aggressive fibromatosis, every other soft tissue nodule or mass in the same limb has to be regarded as an additional tumor of the same histology.
