Surgical Oncology, 2007 Desmoid tumors are rare, benign, fibromatous lesions that are the result of abnormal proliferation of myofibroblasts. Desmoid tumors can be classified as extra-abdominal and abdominal. Abdominal desmoid tumors are either superficial or intraabdominal.

Desmoid tumours exhibit fibroblastic proliferation and arise from fascial or musculoaponeurotic structures. Despite their benign microscopic appearance, and their negligible metastatic potential, the propensity of desmoid tumours for local infiltration is potentially significant in terms of deformity, morbidity and mortality due to pressure effects and

Desmoid tumors are rare, comprising 3% of soft tissue tumors. Surgical resection has been the standard of care; however, this has begun to evolve into a movement of watchful waiting as observational studies have shown long-term stability of many tumors without treatment and even spontaneous regression in 5% to 10% of cases.

DESMOID TUMORS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1985Nineteen cases of desmoid tumors were reviewed, being intraabdominal. Five of the 7 were associated with polyposis coli. The remaining 12 cases were distributed in different anatomic locations. Sixteen patients were treated with resection either alone or in combination with radiation or hormonal treatment. There were two deaths due to unrelated causes,

Desmoid-type fibromatosis represents a challenge in the landscape of surgical oncology, for several reasons. The tumors can be infiltrative and locally aggressive, surgery may be morbid, and patients are usually young, and thus treatment sequelae must be managed for decades. Desmoids do not have metastatic potential, therefore management strategies for

Because of the wide variety of anatomic locations and patient factors, there is no one treatment that is appropriate for all desmoid tumors. The type of treatment depends on tumor characteristics and location, as well as patient characteristics and preferences. Desmoid tumors can be persistent and frustrating to manage because no one treatment modality

Desmoid tumour of the breast is a rare fibroblastic tumour whose spectrum ranges from being locally inert to aggressive and destructive, and represents 0.2% of all breast tumours. A 22-year-old woman, 2 years post-cosmetic augmentation mammoplasty with silicone implants, presented with a 6-month history of an enlarging mass in her left breast ...

The necessity of aggressive therapy for desmoid tumors has not been clearly established. To evaluate the therapeutic value of adequate resection and radiation therapy, we conducted a retrospective study of 138 patients treated from 1965 through 1984. Univariate analysis revealed five factors predictive of local failure: (1) age between 18 and 30 years,

An extraabdominal desmoid tumor of the shoulder occurring in a middle-aged woman without Gardner's syndrome is described. Two punch biopsy specimens from the tumor were initially interpreted as representing scar tissue; a third incisional biopsy specimen demonstrated the characteristic features of a desmoid tumor.
