“…However, due to the pattern of infiltrative growth, the scope of resection needed to achieve negative margins Most DTs in the abdominal wall and extra-abdominal sites may present as a painless mass. Extra-abdominal DTs (EADTs) localization is more common in the head and neck region, where involvement of the airways or major vessels can present with hoarseness, dyspnea or, in extremely rare cases, be fatal [37][38][39][40][41]. Follow localizations at limbs, presenting as palpable masses, severe pain or muscle contractures and at the thoracic and abdominal wall [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

Desmoid tumors (DTs), also known as desmoid fibromatosis or aggressive fibromatosis, are rare, locally invasive, non-metastatic soft tissue tumors. Although histological results represent the gold standard diagnosis, imaging represents the fundamental tool for the diagnosis of these tumors. Although histological analysis represents the gold standard for diagnosis, imaging represents the fundamental tool for the diagnosis of these tumors. DTs represent a challenge for the radiologist, being able to mimic different pathological conditions. A proper diagnosis is required to establish an adequate therapeutic approach. Multimodality imaging, including ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), should be preferred. Different imaging techniques can also guide minimally invasive treatments and monitor their effectiveness. The purpose of this review is to describe the state-of-the-art multidisciplinary imaging of DTs; and its role in patient management.
