Abstract:
:Fibromatosis is the nonmalignant proliferation of fibroblasts that aggressively invade adjacent tissues. The cause of this abundant growth is unknown. When fibromatosis develops in the mandible or adjoining tissues, its aggressive growth can compress the trachea and cause death. Resection is the treatment of choice. Mandibular reconstruction is performed to prevent displacement of the remaining mandibular segment or segments and consequent difficulties in eating and speaking. Perioperative nurses who care for children with oral or paraoral fibromatoses must understand the special physical and psychological needs of these patients to effectively plan their care.
