| Abstract: |
Nuchal fibroma is a benign tumor-like proliferation which presents as asymptomatic, slow-growing solitary swelling located in the lower back and the neck with microscopic findings of collagen fibers and entrapped adnexae. It occurs more frequently in males between 25 and 60 years. It is associated with diabetes mellitus, Gardner's syndrome, and trauma. Histopathological examination and differentiation of nuchal fibroma from other soft tissue tumors over the posterior neck are essential for the accurate diagnosis. Complete excision and follow-up are necessary for proper management. We report a rare case of nuchal fibroma presenting as posterior neck swelling in a 58-year-old diabetic patient.
