interventional radiologyDesmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare locally aggressive soft tissue tumour that is characterized as benign as it cannot metastasize. It was managed until recently like sarcomas, that is, with radical surgical resection combined or not with radiotherapy. However, this approach ...
Herein a case of mesenteric desmoid fibromatosis in a 54-year-old woman is described, which demonstrated a pseudosarcomatous appearance both on radiology and gross examination because of the presence of central cavitation and necrosis.doi:10.1016/j.mpdhp.2014.02.001Ali, Rola H....
Radiological features of desmoid-type fibromatosis: a two-institution retrospective study Article 31 January 2025 Introduction Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare benign fibroblastic soft tissue tumors predominantly affecting young patients [1,2,3]. Their locally infiltrative nature often leads to pain and ...
Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare, locally infiltrative, mesenchymal neoplasm that is associated with high rates of local recurrence but lacks the potential to metastasise. The disease affects younger individuals, with a peak age of 30 years, and is the most common cause of an anterior ...
Discussion Desmoid tumor, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, is a rare tumor. Approximately 3.7 new cases occur per one million persons per year and develop mostly as an extracolonic manifestation of familial adenomatous poly- posis (FAP) [1-8]. They differ from fibrosarcomas in the fact ...
Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a fibrous tumor characterized by low-grade malignant and easy invasive growth and high recurrence. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy has been identified as a novel non-invasive approach for DF treatment; however, the ultrasonic energy generated by HIF...
Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF, aggressive fibromatosis) is a non-metastasizing mesenchymal neoplasm of deep soft tissue with a tendency towards local recurrence. Genetic alterations affecting canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling are reported in the majori

Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a fibroblastic proliferation that develops in the deep soft tissues and is characterized by infiltrative growth and a tendency towards local recurrence but does not metastasize. Fibromatosis of the chest wall is rare, representing only 10 to 20% of all deep fibromatoses...
