Abdominal wall intramuscular desmoid fibromatosis: a case report.
Abdominal wall intramuscular desmoid fibromatosis: a case report.
- 2022
Desmoid tumors are rare benign myofibroblastic neoplasms that do not have metastatic potential. In this study, we report a case of a desmoid tumor in the left rectus abdominis muscle of a female patient. Computed tomography, abdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging were obtained preoperatively. We performed a complete resection with negative margins. Microscopic evaluation revealed a desmoid tumor. To definitively diagnose abdominal wall masses, imaging modalities must be used in conjunction with clinical history and histologic findings. For these masses, surgical resection is the preferred line of treatment. Copyright Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved. © The Author(s) 2022.
