ABDOMINAL DESMOID TUMORS: A CASE REPORT ANATOMICAL ASPECT

Abstract

Desmoid tumors are rare neoplasms of the soft tissues which develop from fibrous tissues and are histologically characterized by fibroblastic proliferation. They tend to recur at the local site of a previous condition and they do not metastasize. The general clinical presentations manage to simulate the malignant neoplasia from the same histological group. The authors have may have these tumors in the local area on the abdominal wall which can be treated by a large surgical cut in order to avoid recurrence.
