چکیده

Despite their classification as benign, desmoid tumours are difficult to diagnose and manage. They are prone to recurrence and resection can be debilitating. Rarely, synchronous or metachronous multicentric desmoid tumours occur and may require further excision. Therefore, early detection of recurrence and multicentric tumours is vital. We present a case of metachronous desmoid tumours, and review the literature to propose a treatment pathway.

The extra-abdominal DTs arise from fascial or muscoloaponeurotic structures predominantly of the abdominal wall (Fig 1a, 1b, 1c) and occasionally of the shoulder girdl...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Although the standard treatment for desmoid tumours is complete surgical resection with wide margins, the optimal adjuvant treatment for recurrent or inoperable disease is unclear, often being based on sporadic immunohistochemical reports with a low number of cases. Therefore, a large immunohistochemical study was performed, to provide a theoretical basis for adjuvant treatment ...
