Overview

Desmoid tumors are benign but locally aggressive fibrous neoplasms originating from a muscle aponeurosis. Desmoid tumors are firm, nontender overgrowths of fibrous tissue. They may be a feature of the rare autosomal dominant Gardner [familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)] syndrome. Their clinical course and the tendency for recurrence make the treatment of these relatively rare fibrous tumors difficult.

Key words:
musculoaponeurotic fibromatosis – aggressive fibromatosis – deep fibromatosis – nonmetastasizing fibrosarcoma – grade 1 fibrosarcoma – grade 1/2 fibrosarcoma
