Subsequent Development of Desmoid Tumor after a Resected Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Desmoid tumors (deep fibromatosis) of the mesentery are rare mesenchymal tumors. They are often misdiagnosed, especially with a previous history of resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).

Multicentric extra-abdominal desmoid tumors arising in bilateral lower limbs
Extra-abdominal desmoid tumors preferentially affect the shoulders, arms, backs, buttocks, and thighs of young adults. Multicentric occurrence is rather rare but seems to be another distinctive feature of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors.

Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the splenic hilum: A rare tumor at an unusual location
Desmoid-type fibromatoses (DTFs), also known as desmoid tumors, are benign but infiltrative neoplasms that often appear next to previous surgical site. Intra-abdominal tumors usually involve the mesentery, but splenic hilum is an unusual localization. We

Desmoid tumor: an unusual case of gross hematuria
Desmoid tumors are rare soft-tissue masses originating from the proliferation of fibroblasts in the fibroconnective tissues. Intra-abdominal desmoid tumors pose special diagnostic challenge due to multiplicity of differential diagnoses, and difficulty to

Pancreatic cystic desmoid tumor following metastatic colon cancer surgery: A case report
Desmoid tumors are rare, benign, and locally aggressive neoplasms that stem from connective tissue that have high rates of recurrence after surgery. Intra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis can arise in 2 forms: sporadic or hereditary (associated with ...

Aggressive fibromatosis of the head and neck: a new classification based on a literature review over 40 years (1968-2008) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Fibromatosis is an aggressive fibrous tumor of unknown etiology that is, in some cases, lethal. Until now, there has been no particular classification for the head and neck.
