Extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis: Cryoablation versus traditional therapies.

Purpose: To retrospectively review the various methods used to treat extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis (EDF) at our institution to compare treatment response and complications with those for the emerging option of percutaneous cryoablation therapy.

Methods: A single-center retrospective review was conducted to identify patients with EDF who underwent some form of treatment for EDF in any combination (including medical therapy, surgery, percutaneous ablation and radiation therapy) at our institution between January 2007 and January 2020. Patients with pathological evidence of EDF and pretreatment and posttreatment images were included.
