A comparative morphological study of primary and relapsing desmoid tumors was carried out. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the progress of desmoid tumors in the form of relapses was paralleled by an increase in the counts of immunopositive cells and intensity of β-catenin and cycloxygenase-2 expression.

Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: Fibromatosis of the breast, also known as desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF), is a rare tumor marked by the development of non-metastatic, locally aggressive tumors in breast tissue. It represents only 0.2% of all breast tumors.

Desmoid tumors are a rare entity, especially in the pediatric population. There are no reports of such a tumor in newborns. They are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, even though they are benign soft tissue tumors.

Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare low-grade benign myofibroblastic neoplasm that originates from fascia and muscle striae. For giant chest wall DF, surgical resection offer a radical form of treatment and the causing defects usually need repair and reconstruction, which can restore the structural integrity and rigidity of the thoracic cage. The past decade witnessed rapid advances in the application of various prosthetic material in thoracic surgery.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, FL, US.
Objectives: Abdominal wall and intra-abdominal fibromatoses are locally aggressive, nonmetastasizing neoplasms. Surgery has been the mainstay of local control, but new forms of therapy have been developed that may influence the clinical course and morbidity. We studied the clinical features and outcomes of patients with abdominal and intra-abdominal fibromatoses over time.

Department of Radiology, Stanford School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, 94305, USA.
Objective: To identify MRI features of desmoid tumors (DTs) that predict the growth of residual disease following ablation.
Methods: Patients who underwent MRI-guided ablation for DTs between February 2013 and April 2021 were included in this single-center IRB-approved retrospective study. MRI scans assessed three suspicious tissue features: intermediate T2 signal [+iT2], nodular appearance [+NOD], and contrast enhancement [+ENH].
