This report describes an 18-year-old woman presenting with abdominal distension, left flank pain, and hypertension. She had a huge abdominal mass, diagnosed as a mesenteric desmoid-type fibromatosis, causing compression of the left external iliac vessels and ureter, as well as elevated renin concentration and hypertension. After surgical removal of the mass, all signs improved including hypertension.

Desmoid tumors, also known as deep fibromatosis or desmoid-type fibromatosis, represent a rare subset of deep fibromatoses. It is a locally aggressive tumor, with no specific symptoms, and no metastatic potential. We report a case of a 38-year-old male patient with an abdominal mass.

Article Synopsis
- - Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare tumor that forms in deep soft tissues and doesn't spread to other parts of the body; the case revolves around a 78-year-old male with this condition found incidentally in the abdomen.
- - Initial imaging revealed a large mass in the abdomen, leading to a successful surgery to remove the tumor and part of the small intestine, which confirmed the diagnosis of primary desmoid-type fibromatosis.
- - Even after clear removal, the patient experienced a recurrence of the tumor 17 months later, necessitating another surgery, with a smooth recovery reported post-operation.

Article Synopsis
- Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) is a rare type of benign but aggressive tumor that can grow in various body parts, including the abdomen, with a high chance of returning after surgery.* -
- A unique case is reported where AF was found in the sigmoid colon of a 27-year-old woman during an unrelated surgical procedure, leading to its surgical removal.* -
- The successful removal of the mass, confirmed as AF, resulted in a positive recovery with no recurrence observed after 30 months, indicating that surgical excision can be effective.*

RAD51C and MYST3 Mutations in a Case of Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis With No Mutation in CTNNB1 or APC.
Cureus
March 2024
Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, University of Minnesota, MInneapolis, USA.
Most cases of desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) exhibit a mutation in APC or CTNNB1. We report a case of mesenteric DTF in which no mutation in APC or CTNNB1 was found, but a germline variant of uncertain significance (VUS) in RAD51C and a subclonal mutation in MYST3 were identified. Whether these genetic changes are important in DTF in this case, or whether genetically conventional DTF cells were present at a density below detection is unknown; it will be of interest to see results in further studies of wild-type APC/CTNNB1 cases.
