“…Multimodal imaging tools, including computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are helpful tools in the assessment process. These techniques can be also used to guide minimally invasive interventions and monitor their effectiveness in treatment [24].…”

A desmoid tumor (DT) is a rare benign neoplasm arising from muscle aponeurosis, associated mostly with trauma or pregnancy. DT has an infiltrative and locally aggressive growth pattern and usually does not metastasize. However, it has a high recurrence and complication rate. When it occurs in pregnancy, the pregnancy and delivery is taken as an individual case for optimal management by physicians and midwifes, who need to be cautious in finding the optimal delivery mode for the patient, which depends on the tumor size, location, behavior, and past history. The authors report a case of 29-year-old pregnant woman who previously underwent systemic oncological treatment for a large abdominal wall desmoid tumor and became pregnant afterwards. The history of DT presented a follow-up and delivery challenge. Observational management was chosen with an elective cesarean section at week 38 + 4 of pregnancy with uncomplicated postpartum follow-up. The authors detail the clinical management and chosen therapeutic approach; chemotherapy can be a choice in the treatment options for patients with DTs, although the majority of DTs are treated surgically with subsequent mesh plastic. Moreover, the authors provide a systematic review of the literature focused on the treatment management of DTs in pregnant women during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as pregnancy-associated desmoid tumors are a specific condition, where the optimal management is not well established, despite some guidelines for non-pregnant patients.

Introduction: Desmoid tumor (DT) is a rare benign neoplasm rising from muscle aponeurosis, having been associated mostly with trauma or pregnancy. DT has an infiltrative and locally aggressive growth pattern and usually does not metastasize. However, it has a high recurrence and complication rate. When they occur in pregnancy, are all pregnancies and deliveries taken as individual case for optimal management by the physicians and midwifes, who need to be cautious in finding the optimal delivery mode for patients, which depends on tumor size, location, behavior and past history. Study Objectives: We present a case report of a large desmoid tumor of the anterior abdominal wall in a 29-year-old woman in pregnancy, presenting a delivery problem, which resolved in surgical management. Moreover, we are bringing a systematic review of the literature to provide an overview on pathomechanism, symptoms, diagnostics and treatment management of the pregnant women affected by DT. Results: The authors report a case of pregnant women who underwent systemic oncological treatment for abdominal wall desmoid tumor and have been pregnant afterwards. The observational conservative management was chosen with an elective cesarean section at the 38+4 pregnancy week with uncomplicated postpartum follow-up. Conclusion: Pregnancy-associated desmoid tumors are very rare and optimal management of this tumor is not well established, despite some guidelines for non-pregnant patients. The authors reviewed the literature focusing on the actual modern management of desmoid tumors at all, including patients during the pregnancy, as well.
