ABDOMINAL DESMOID TUMORS: A CASE REPORT ANATOMICAL ASPECT

2008

Desmoid tumors are rare neoplasms of the soft tissues which develop from fibrous tissues and are histologically characterized by fibroblastic proliferation. They tend to recur at the local site of a previous condition and they do not metastasize. The general clinical presentations manage to simulate the malignant neoplasia from the same histological group. The authors have may have these tumors in the local area on the abdominal wall which can be treated by a large surgical cut in order to avoid recurrence.

[Introduction] Desmoid tumour (DT) is a locally aggressive fibroblastic proliferative disease representing the most common extraintestinal manifestation of familial adenomatosis polyposis (FAP). As data on the activity of chemotherapy in these patients are limited, we examined the outcomes of patients treated with low-dose methotrexate (MTX)+vinca alkaloids (vinorelbine or vinblastine).

Recent Advances in Desmoid Tumor Therapy

2020

The desmoid tumor is a locally aggressive proliferative disease within the family of soft-tissue sarcomas. Despite its relatively good prognosis, the clinical management of desmoid tumors requires constant multidisciplinary evaluation due to its highly variable clinical behavior. Recently, active surveillance has being regarded as the appropriate strategy at diagnosis, as indolent persistence or spontaneous regressions are not uncommon. Here, we review the most recent advances in desmoid tumor therapy, including low-dose chemotherapy and treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We also explore the recent improvements in our knowledge of the molecular biology of this disease, which are lea…
