- Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare, locally aggressive tumor that doesn’t spread to other parts of the body, with symptoms varying based on its size and location.
- It often appears sporadically or in individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), with potential development linked to trauma or surgical procedures.
- The article presents a case of a 41-year-old male who developed DF in the lower pole of his kidney after undergoing partial nephrectomy, marking a notable instance of two different tumors occurring in the same kidney.
Article Abstract
Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is an extremely rare tumor, which is locally aggressive in nature with no metastatic potential. Presenting symptoms depend on tumor size, site and progression speed. Most commonly occur sporadically, or associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Factors may contribute to develop DF are trauma or surgical incision. In this article, we report a 41-years old male, which had partial upper pole nephrectomy, and developed lower pole desmoid fibrosis proven by histopathology. To our best knowledge, there are no article discussed the 2 different tumors occur in the same kidney at 2 different locations.
