Clinical management of pediatric aggressive fibromatosis involving the mandible

Pediatric aggressive fibromatosis (AF) is a rare, benign tumor with locally infiltrative growth. Therefore, how to prevent reoccurrence while maintaining the mandible contour and continuity as much as possible is very important when the mandible is involved.
