Article Abstract
Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a relatively rare disease, often associated with familial adenomatous polyposis and a history of abdominal surgery. A 43-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain and contrast-enhanced CT showed a mass in the lower abdomen. The mass was a 4×4×3 cm white, dense tumor with a wreath-like arrangement of eosinophilic spindle-shaped cells. Immunostaining showed KIT(-), CD34(-), desmin(-), β-catenin(+), SMA(few+), and the diagnosis was desmoid-type fibrosis. Six months after surgery, there was no apparent recurrence.
