- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 9-year-old male patient who presented with severe trismus following prior excision and treatment of aggressive fibromatosis of the right masticator and parapharyngeal spaces. The free flap reconstruction for the trismus release in the patient has been reported using the radial forearm free flap (RFFF). The study indicates the importance of surgical excision as the standard of care for the treatment of desmoid tumors.
