Currently, the term ‘‘sarcoma with low-grade malignancy’’ is preferred, due the tendency of these tumors toward local invasion and frequent recurrence, even after complete surgical resection.

Desmoids do not have the ability to metastasize but can cause significant morbidity and mortality by local invasion. These tumors may occur throughout the body, but are commonly found on the abdominal wall and within the intestinal mesentery. Desmoids in these areas may cause unique clinical problems for ph...
