Background: Desmoid tumor is a rare soft tissues neoplasia characterized by local invasiveness and by a tendency towards local recurrence although not towards metastasization.
Discussion: Etiology is not clear. Desmoid tumors originate from the monoclonal proliferation of one mesenchymal cell and develop in the context of fascial, muscular and aponeurotic tissue. They are free of capsule and do not usually metastatize, although they do present a high risk of local recurrence CONCLUSION: In the absence of a systematic data collection and of a clear distinction, in the existing databases, between primitive and recurrent lesions and between lesions of different sites, there are no standard guidelines for a correct management of desmoids.
Key Words: Aggressive fibromatos Desmoid tumor, Soft tissue neoplasia.

Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis is a cancer-predisposing syndrome caused by germline pathogenic variants of the adenomatous polyposis coli gene, leading to numerous colorectal polyps and a high risk of colorectal cancer. Desmoid tumours have become significant in the management of familial adenomatous polyposis after a colectomy, yet the exact incidence remains undetermined due to a lack of dedicated surveillance.
Methods: This retrospective study accessed data from the prospectively maintained Hereditary Digestive Tumours Registry from 2000 to 2023.

Article Synopsis
- Desmoid tumours are rare benign growths that can aggressively invade surrounding tissues, especially near nerves and blood vessels, making them difficult to treat.
- Their exact cause is unknown, but they are more common in females and may be linked to factors like trauma, surgery, or inflammation, suggesting possible genetic or hormonal influences.
- A case study highlights a 34-year-old woman who developed a desmoid tumour in her neck after neck surgery; despite surgical removal, the tumour recurred, necessitating a second operation for complete treatment.

- This condition can also cause extracolonic manifestations like desmoid tumors and various mental disorders in affected families.
- A case study highlights the importance of mental health care in genetic counseling, as a family with FAP showed connections between the disorder and mental health issues, including autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities.
