“…Surgical excision is the primary option for the treatment of intra-abdominal DT. Postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of the two has been used in cases of positive margins with variable successes [ 11 ]. The recurrence of DT after surgical removal ranges from 19% to 57%, with a median disease-free survival of between 14 and 24 months [ 12 ].…”

Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare locally aggressive benign soft tissue tumors with an estimated annual incidence of two to four new cases per million people. The giant intra-abdominal mass presents a diagnostic challenge that includes a broad differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), fibrosarcoma, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and other malignancies from adjacent organs. We report a case of a 38-year-old male patient with a giant intra-abdominal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen and pelvis indicated mucinous cystic neoplasm or gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), but histopathology confirmed it to be a desmoid tumor. The patient was discharged, and on follow-up five months until now, there is no recurrence. This case highlighted the importance of including DT in the differential diagnosis of very large intra-abdominal masses.

Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the head and neck in children: a case report and review of the literature

BackgroundDesmoid-type fibromatosis is defined as an intermediate tumor that rarely occurs in the head and neck of children. There is no doubt as to the value of complete surgical excision for desmoid-type fibromatosis. However, in pediatric patients, surgeons may often be concerned about making a wide excision because of the potential for functional morbidity. Some studies have reported a lack of correlation between margin status and recurrence. Therefore, we discussed our findings with a focus on the state of surgical margins.Case presentationWe report an unusual case of a 9-month-old Japanese girl who prior to presenting at our hospital underwent debulking surgery twice with chemotherapy for desmoid-type fibromatosis of the tongue at another hospital. We performed a partial glossectomy and simultaneous reconstruction with local flap and achieved microscopic complete resection. We also reviewed available literature of pediatric desmoid-type fibromatosis in the head and neck.ConclusionsWe described successful treatment for the refractory case of pediatric desmoid-type fibromatosis. The review results showed that some microscopic incomplete resections of tumors in pediatric patients with desmoid-type fibromatosis tended to be acceptable with surgical treatment.
