Goals: To clarify the characteristics of desmoid tumors in Japanese patients with familial adenomatous polyposis after colectomy.
Background: Few comprehensive reports have been published on desmoid tumors in Asian patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.
Study: This retrospective study included the data of 81 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who underwent surgery between 1978 and 2021.

Desmoid tumours, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are rare tumours derived from mesenchymal stem cells, accounting for only 0.03 % of all tumours. While 85-90 % of cases are sporadic, desmoid tumours can occasionally be associated with Gardner syndrome (or Familial Adenomatous Polyposis), which is linked to variants in the tumour suppressor gene, APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene on chromosome 5.

Cortical desmoid is an uncommon benign bony lesion that can typically be diagnosed through conventional radiographic methods. However, here we present an atypical case of a 14-year-old male who presented with a history of trauma, and the initial X-ray showed a right femur suspicious bony lesion. Still, the subsequent use of CT and MRI confirmed the diagnosis of cortical desmoid, so conservative management and follow-up imaging was recommended.

Background: In 2023 and 2024, a wide variety of new studies have been published in the field of soft tissue sarcomas, representing the enormous heterogeneity of sarcoma histotypes, anatomical location, treatment variability, and biological behavior.
Patients And Methods: This article summarizes the, in our view, seven most important publications in the field that will have an impact on the surgical practice and future treatment strategies of our patients.
Results: In the last year, we gained more insight in the genetic background of patients with sarcoma from a large Australian study, which will have an impact on future counseling and screening of our patients.
