Generality Fibromatosis is a particular medical condition characterized by the presence of benign tumors, called fibroids, which originate from the cells of the subcutaneous or dermis connective tissues. The precise causes of fibromatosis still represent a mystery. For some doctors, the list of possible triggers includes: skin trauma, hormonal changes, diabetes, liver disease and hypertension
