Abstract
Introduction Desmoid-type fibromatosis, also known as desmoid tumors, are rare fibroblastic neoplasms that account for less than 3% of all soft tissue tumors. Although they are benign neoplasms without metastatic potential, they are known to be locally aggressive and may invade adjacent structures leading to fatal complications. Case presentation We describe the case of a 26-year-old woman who presenting with the clinical picture of acute peritonitis. Emergency surgery was performed and a large poorly-circumscribed heterogeneous tumor was found, occupying the jejunum mesentery and infiltrating the jejunal wall causing its perforation into the abdominal cavity. En bloc resection of the tumor and the involved jejunum was performed. Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed it to be mesenteric desmoid-type fibromatosis. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient had no evidence of recurrence 18 months after tumor resection. Conclusions Mesenteric desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare condition with insidious growth and locally aggressive behavior. Serious complications such as bowel perforation are rare but possible, as shown in our presentation. Complete surgical resection is the first-line treatment bur high recurrence rates remain problematic. Desmoid-typefibromatosis are rare fibroblastic neoplasms that account for less than 3% of all soft tissue tumors. We reported a rare case of diffuse peritonitis due to sporadic mesenteric desmoid-type fibromatosis with aggressive proliferation and consecutive intestinal perforation. Only a few similar cases have been reported in the literature. This case report an unusual presentation of mesenteric desmoid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare disease that can result in hydronephrosis. Hydronephrosis associated with desmoid-type fibromatosis often requires surgery or ureteral stent insertion. Although radiation therapy is recommended for inoperable cases of desmoid-type fibromatosis, there has been no report of treatment for hydronephrosis associated with desmoid-type fibromatosis by radiation therapy alone. We herein report a case of successful treatment for inoperable recurrence of desmoid-type fibromatosis with unilateral hydronephrosis by radiation therapy alone. CASE PRESENTATION A 43-year-old Japanese female underwent resection of desmoid-type fibromatosis in the right inguinal region and combined resection of the right external iliac vein 5 years before. Other treatment was not performed because of her pregnancy. Four years after surgery, desmoid-type fibromatosis recurred in the right pelvic wall. Cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor treatment was given for 1 year, but her desmoid-type fibromatosis enlarged to more than 10 cm, and she had swelling of her right leg and hydronephrosis of her right kidney. The patient received 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions of prophylactic irradiation using 10 MV X-ray and 9 Gy in five fractions of a sequential boost for the recurrent desmoid-type fibromatosis. Although there was temporary tumor progression at 1 month after radiation therapy, slow regression of the tumor was seen. At 5 years after radiation therapy, there was no disease progression or severe complications. CONCLUSION We experienced successful treatment for an inoperable case of desmoid-type fibromatosis with hydronephrosis. Moderate-dose radiation therapy alone is an effective and feasible approach for the management of hydronephrosis associated with desmoid-type fibromatosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to retrospectively review clinical data, management protocols, and clinical outcomes of patients with fibromatoses of head and neck region treated at our tertiary care center. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 11 patients with confirmed histopathological diagnosis of fibromatosis registered in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery at Tata Memorial Centre, India, between 2009 and 2019. Various clinical and pathological features and treatment modalities were evaluated. RESULTS Age at diagnosis ranged between 18 and 74 years, with a median age of 36 years. The female-to-male ratio was 5:6. Supraclavicular fossa (n=4) was the most common subsite of origin in the neck (n=8). The lateral (n=2) and posterior cervical regions (n=2) were other common neck subsites. Less commonly involved sites were the mandible (n=1), maxilla (n=1), and thyroid (n=1). A total of eight patients underwent surgery at other centers before being referred to us for further management. Out of a total 11 patients, nine patients had unresectable disease at presentation. Six of the patients with unresectable disease received a combination of weekly doses of vinblastine 6 mg/m2 and methotrexate 30 mg/m2 for a median duration of 6 months (range 6-18 months) followed by hormonal therapy with tamoxifen. Three patients received metronomic chemotherapy followed by hormonal therapy. One treatment-naive patient with fibromatosis of posterior cervical (suboccipital) region underwent R2 resection (excision of bulk of the tumor with preservation of critical structures) at our center along with adjuvant radiotherapy. One pregnant patient reported to us after undergoing surgery outside and defaulting radiotherapy. During median follow-up of 29 months (range 1-77 months), six patients had stable disease, and four patients had disease reduction. Disease progression was seen in one patient. The two-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 90% (95% CI 70%-100%). CONCLUSION Gross residual resection (R2) was the mainstay of surgical treatment in our series, as obtaining clear surgical margins is seldom possible in these locally aggressive tumors. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy are the other preferred and more conservative treatment modalities. The goal of surgery should be preserving function with minimal or no morbidity. As fibromatoses in the head and neck region are extremely rare, their treatment awaits the development of standard treatment protocols.

Abstract
A 23-year-old Korean female presented epigastric pain of two-months’ duration. She had a laparoscopic ovarian cyst excision 8 months previously. Clinical examination was normal. An abdominal computed tomogram (CT) demonstrated a 10-cm solid mass in the distal pancreas, with signs of splenic artery and vein occlusion, gastric and transverse colon invasion. Operative findings showed a mass involving distal pancreas, invasive to the posterior wall of the antrum of the stomach and transverse colon and 4th portion of the duodenum without lymph node involvement. The surgery consisted of a distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy and combined partial resection of the stomach, transverse colon and 4th portion of the duodenum. The immunohistochemistry and histopathological features were consistent with a confirmed diagnosis of intra-abdominal desmoid type fibromatosis (DTF). The prognosis of pancreatic DTF is not known and she showed no recurrence or distant metastasis during a 3 year follow-up. Herein we report a rare case with an isolated, sporadic, and non-trauma-related DTF, located at the pancreatic body and tail.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Desmoid tumors have a variable clinical course that ranges from indolence or spontaneous regression to an aggressive pattern marked by local invasion. Up to half may remain stable or regress; watchful waiting is the preferred approach in the initial management of desmoid tumors. Symptomatic or progressive tumors or those that may affect adjacent critical structures require surgery, radiotherapy, or systemic therapy. Although radiotherapy effectively controls desmoid tumors in most cases, concerns regarding late toxicity exist. Definitive radiotherapy for macroscopic disease is indicated when a non-morbid complete surgical resection cannot be accomplished and provides similar control rates to surgery plus radiotherapy but avoids toxicity from combined-modality treatment (surgery and radiotherapy). Adjuvant radiotherapy can be considered for microscopically involved margins, particularly for recurrent cases or when a future recurrence may be challenging to treat. Large size, extremity site, and younger age are poor prognostic factors after radiotherapy. In the extremity, radiotherapy may have superior outcomes to surgery. Younger patients, especially children, are challenging to manage as they are at particular risk for late toxicity due to the number of potential years at risk. For patients under 20 years old, for whom a non-morbid complete resection is not possible, we recommend systemic therapy as the first line of treatment. Although the long-term efficacy of systemic therapy is unproven, this strategy allows additional time for growth and development prior to radiotherapy. In younger patients and those with axial desmoid tumors adjacent to critical organs, consideration should be given to using proton therapy as the dosimetric advantages may mitigate some of the toxicity associated with conventional radiotherapy.

Abstract
Mesenteric fibromatosis is a locally invasive myofibroblastic proliferation and rarely metastasize to other organs. Hollow organ perforation and acute diffuse peritonitis caused by mesenteric fibromatosis rarely occurred. Here we report a case of huge mesenteric fibromatosis who complained a paroxysmal epigastric pain, and CT scan showed a huge mass, pneumoperitoneum and ascites. An urgent laparotomy showed an intro-abdominal mass and perforation locating at the jejunum. Postoperative histology confirmed it to be mesenteric fibromatosis. With one-year follow-up, the patient had no recurrence. We wish to share our treating experience of this interesting case because it did not belong to a typical type but presenting with acute diffuse peritonitis, and total resection and R0 margin is a key to treat acute case. This atypical one has not been reported in the literature till now.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Desmoid tumors are rare soft tissue tumors. Wide local excision has been the standard surgical treatment for desmoid tumors. However, this procedure results in high local recurrence rates, so non-surgical treatments should be considered. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of radiation therapy on patients with desmoid tumors, especially those with unresectable disease.
Methods
We evaluated studies published between 1 January 1990 and 31 August 2017 and cited in PubMed and Ichushi (in Japanese). All studies evaluating the effect of radiation therapy on desmoid tumors were included. Data regarding radiation dose, recurrence and adverse events were recorded.
Results
Among 218 identified studies, only 6 were finally included in this review. Local control was achieved in 253 of 317 patients with unresectable or unresected tumors who underwent definitive radiation therapy (the crude rate of local control was 79.8%). Toxicity was evaluated in patients who underwent definitive radiation therapy or surgery plus radiation therapy. One of the most common acute complications was skin toxicity. Frequent late complications of radiation therapy included fibrosis/contracture/joint stiffness, skin disorders, lymphedema and pain. Six patients developed secondary malignancies in the radiation field.
Conclusions
In patients treated unsuccessfully with surgery, watchful waiting and pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy may be an option as salvage therapy because of the high rate of local control. Because desmoid tumors frequently develop in young individuals, children and young patients who receive radiation therapy for the treatment of desmoid tumors should be followed up on a long-term basis with periodic monitoring for late radiation toxicities.

Abstract
CASE A 31-year-old woman developed worsening pain and paresthesia in the neck, shoulder, and arm over a period of 6 years. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a soft-tissue mass in the subscapular region, with likely involvement of the scapula and the subscapularis muscle. The mass was resected, and the final histologic diagnosis was desmoid-type fibromatosis. CONCLUSION Desmoid tumors with subscapularis muscle involvement are exceedingly rare. Although limited range of motion is the more common presentation for these tumors, this case demonstrates that desmoid tumors may present with primarily neurologic symptoms.

Abstract
Background and purpose Pediatric desmoid tumor (PDT) is rare and has a high local recurrence rate. The purpose of the present study was to analyze clinical risk factors of local recurrence in PDT patients. Materials and methods We reviewed clinical data of 66 PDT patients from 2004 to 2015. All patients underwent macroscopically complete resection, and some recurrent tumors were prescribed radiotherapy. Factors such as sex, age at presentation, location, and proximity to nerves or vasculature were analyzed. The local recurrence rate and recurrence-free survival were analyzed with these factors. Results All patients in the present study were children and had extra-abdominal tumors. The median follow-up time was 6.6 years. Thirty-six (55%) patients had local recurrence. Age, sex, tumor site, tumor size, and proximity to nerves/vasculature had a significant impact on prognosis in univariate analysis. Radiotherapy decreased the local recurrence rate. In multivariate analysis, younger age, tumor location in buttocks, larger tumor, and proximity to important nerves/vasculature were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Conclusions Favorable therapeutic strategies could be selected according to the preoperative prognostic risk factors. Radiotherapy should be considered for local recurrence of PDT.

Abstract
RATIONALE Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) of abdominal wall is also called desmoid tumor, ligament tumor, fibrous tissue tumor hyperplasia, tendon membrane fibroma or soft tissue ligament fibroma, etc. Aggressive fibromatosis of abdominal wall was first described by MacFarlane in 1832, and it was named for the first time by Muller according to its general appearance and texture in 1838. This disease has been mistaken for a benign lesions for a long time because when the cells were examined by pathology often show normal mitosis, and distant metastases are not found clinically, but actually the disease is locally invasive and shows a local invasive growth. So it is a rare low-grade malignant soft tissue tumor. At present, the main treatment for the disease is operation, and radiotherapy and hormone therapy have a certain effect, but these therapies are not ideal. PATIENT CONCERNS A 32-year-old woman, who underwent cesarean section three years ago came to the hospital for finding a mass on abdominal wall for half a month. DIAGNOSES Mass of abdominal wall. INTERVENTIONS Underwent surgery. OUTCOMES Pathology: The lesion is aggressive fibromatosis of abdominal wall (ligament tumor of abdominal wall). LESSONS We discussed the particularity of its clinical characteristics, treatment strategies and prognosis combined with literature review, and we think the surgeons need to pay high attention to this disease and make more patients get timely, correct and reasonable treatment, so as to improve the quality of life.

Abstract
Purpose Radiation therapy (RT) is a common treatment for benign diseases in Germany. Because the treatment concepts are inconsistent, we conducted this pattern-of-care study on behalf of the German Cooperative Group on Benign Diseases to evaluate treatment standards in Germany. Methods and materials Questionnaires were mailed to all radiation therapy facilities in Germany. We assessed the treatment equipment, annual number of patients, treatment indications, and, in particular, treatment strategies in patients with benign diseases in 2014. Results We evaluated questionnaires returned by 116 participating institutions, of which 41 were ambulatory health care centers, 28 were private institutions, 27 were community hospitals, and 20 were university hospitals. On average, 2 linac accelerators and 2 megavoltage units were available in each institution. In 2014, a total of 36,830 patients were treated for benign diseases: 16,989 for degenerative diseases (peritendinitis humeroscapularis n = 2691; epicondylitis humeri n = 3788; heel spur n = 10,510); 14,936 for osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis n = 2230; gonarthrosis n = 2623; omarthrosis n = 2691; rhizarthrosis n = 2440; polyarthrosis n = 2297; others n = 2655); 1563 for hyperproliferative diseases (morbus Dupuytren n = 960; morbus Ledderhose n = 441; keloids n = 139; pterygium of the conjunctiva n = 3; other hyperproliferative diseases n = 20); 2440 for functional disorders (gynecomastia n = 843; Graves' disease n = 205; lymphatic fistula n = 178; heterotopic ossification prophylaxis n = 1214); 859 for stereotactic RT in the central nervous system (arteriovenous malformation n = 53; meningioma n = 425; acoustic neuroma n = 201; pituitary adenoma n = 131; others n = 49), and 43 for rare indications (pigmented villonodular synovitis n = 20 or vertebral hemangioma n = 23). The mean whole dose was <10 Gy in the treatment of degenerative disorders, 25 Gy for hyperproliferative diseases, 15 Gy for functional disorders, and <50 Gy for stereotactic RT. Conclusions In 2014, RT had an important role in the treatment of benign diseases. Because treatment concepts are inherent, we recommend treatment based on the guidelines written by the German Cooperative Group on Benign Diseases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We report a case series of aggressive fibromatosis of the forearm and discuss the differentiation criteria of overlapped intra- or extra-osseous origin of aggressive fibromatosis, surgical approach, and outcome. Ten cases of aggressive fibromatosis of the forearm were evaluated. When there was no involvement of vital adjacent structures, such as nerves, vessels, and tendons, en-bloc excision was performed for the removal of the soft-tissue mass. Bone involvement was observed in nine cases. Intercalary allograft was performed whenever one of the forearm bones was involved (six cases), while extensive curettage was used if both forearm bones were affected (three cases). The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score was 90%, ranging from 80% to 97%. Limited forearm rotation was the most frequent complication. Three local recurrences were observed, none with intercalary allograft reconstruction. We conclude that the extensive curettage of the involved bone results in a higher risk of local recurrence compared with intercalary allograft. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The best management of relapsing desmoid-type fibromatosis, a benign but locally infiltrative soft-tissue tumour, is largely undecided. Our aim was to investigate the incidence and the factors influencing local relapse after surgery for primary and recurrent disease of the trunk and extremities. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 174 patients who had surgical treatment for desmoid-type fibromatosis. The quality of the surgical margins and use of adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy were analysed regarding local recurrences in primary and recurrent disease. RESULTS Clear margins were achieved in 41% of cases. 10-year local control rate was 58% for clear primary resections as compared to 37% with intralesional primary resections (p = 0.030). Extremity tumours had a higher risk of local recurrence compared to trunk and pelvic ones (p < 0.001). Attempted resection of recurrent disease was associated with an approximately 90% incidence of relapse after each procedure, despite the quality of the surgical margins being equivalent to primary resections. Quality of surgical margins was not important for local control of recurrent lesions. Adjuvant treatments (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) had a no significant effect on the local control rate of recurrent disease (odds ratio 0.693 and 0.969 respectively). CONCLUSIONS A complete primary excision is the best window of opportunity to achieve local control of desmoid-type fibromatosis. Once the disease relapses, surgical intervention is accompanied with a high risk of failure, irrespective of the quality of the margins and adjuvant treatment given.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors are rare, comprising 3% of soft tissue tumors. Surgical resection has been the standard of care; however, this has begun to evolve into a movement of watchful waiting as observational studies have shown long-term stability of many tumors without treatment and even spontaneous regression in 5% to 10% of cases. When surgical therapy is used, wide local excision with microscopically negative margins is the goal of resection but should not be at the expense of organ or limb function. Recurrence rates after surgical resection are approximately 20%; a variety of multimodal therapies are useful in controlling disease.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of the study was to review a large series of chest aggressive fibromatosis (AF) cases with an emphasis on the outcomes of different degrees of resection and the value of postoperative radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of patients with chest AF treated at our hospital from 1982 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Recurrence rates and non-disease survival (NDS) times were compared between the R0, R1, and R2 resection groups. RESULTS Forty-seven cases of chest AF were treated during the study period (21 men, 26 women), with an average age at diagnosis of 40 years (range, 9-77 years). One patient died before surgery, and 46 patients received a total of 85 resections. Forty-one patients had complete follow-up data, and the average follow-up time was 125.6 months (range, 11-524 months). Recurrence rates were 6.7%, 92.9%, and 100% for the R0, R1, and R2 resection groups, respectively, and the R0 recurrence rate was significantly lower than the R1 and R2 rates (both P values < 0.001). The NDS time of the R0, R1, and R2 groups was 80.3 ± 64.8, 23.6 ± 38.7, and 9.8 ± 10.8 months, respectively; the NDS time of the R0 group was significantly longer than that of the R1 and R2 groups (both P values < 0.01). Within each resection type, no significant differences were found in the recurrence rates of patients having surgery alone compared with those receiving surgery and radiotherapy (all P values > 0.05). CONCLUSION R0 resection is the most effective treatment for chest AF. Postoperative radiotherapy did not reduce the recurrence rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study was conducted to describe ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation in the treatment of intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis in seven patients who had failed surgery. METHODS We retrospectively investigated seven patients with pathologically proven intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis and surgical failure, who were treated with USgHIFU between June 2013 and February 2015. The main causes for surgical failure were a large tumour size or adjacent tissue invasion by the tumour. All of the patients were treated with palliative intent, to reduce symptoms of the diseases. The medical records were reviewed during the follow-up period, and the patients were asked to compare the symptoms of their disease as improved, unchanged or worsened, based on their levels before treatment. In addition, contrast-enhanced MRI was conducted to follow the size of the tumours before and after therapy. RESULTS The procedure was successfully accomplished in all of the patients without severe side effects. The median diameter of the tumours was 10.3 cm (range, 7.6-13.6 cm) and the mean ablation rate (the percentage rate of the non-perfused volume compared with the tumour volume on enhanced MRI after treatment) was 92.5 ± 3.7% (range, 86.5-96.8%). One patient underwent two treatments for a large tumour size, and other patients received single-visit therapy. All of the patient clinical symptoms remitted significantly after 6 months. The regression rates of the tumours were 34.8 ± 8.2% (range, 22.4-46.1%) and 58.2 ± 12.7% (range, 43.8-70.3%), respectively, at 6 and 12 months after treatment. CONCLUSION USgHIFU ablation could be an effective alternative minimally invasive therapy for the achievement of local control of intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE The conclusions indicate that USgHIFU ablation could be a promising alternative treatment for the achievement of local control of intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis.

Abstract
Desmoid fibromatosis is a rare but locally aggressive tumor comprised of myofibroblasts. Desmoids do not have the ability to metastasize but can cause significant morbidity and mortality by local invasion. These tumors may occur throughout the body, but are commonly found on the abdominal wall and within the intestinal mesentery. Desmoids in these areas may cause unique clinical problems for physicians and patients. Mutations in either the β-catenin or the APC genes are usually the cause for the development of these tumors with the former comprising the sporadic development of tumors and the latter being associated with familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome. Surgical resection with histologically negative margins has been the cornerstone of therapy for this disease, but this paradigm has begun to shift. It is now common to accept a microscopically positive margin after resection as recurrence rates may not be significantly affected. An even more radical evolution in management has been the recent movement towards “watchful waiting” when new desmoids are diagnosed. As the natural history of desmoids has become better understood, it is evident that some tumors will not grow and may even spontaneously regress sparing patients the morbidity of more aggressive therapy. Other modalities of treatment for desmoids include radiation and systemic therapy which both can be used adjuvantly or as definitive therapy and have shown durable response rates as single therapy regimens. The decision to use radiation and/or systemic therapies is often based on tumor biology, tumor location, surgical morbidity, and patient preference. Systemic therapy options have increased to include hormonal therapies, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and chemotherapy, as well as targeted therapies. Unfortunately, the rarity of this disease has resulted in a scarcity of randomized trials to evaluate any of these therapies emphasizing the need for this disease to be treated at high volume multidisciplinary institutions.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors are benign but locally aggressive tumors of mesenchymal origin which are poorly circumscribed, infiltrate the surrounding tissue, lack a true capsule and are composed of abundant collagen. History of trauma or surgery to the site of tumor origin is elicited in up to one in four cases and they most commonly develop in the anterior abdominal wall and shoulder girdle but they can arise in any skeletal muscle. The clinical behavior and natural history of desmoid tumors are unpredictable and management is difficult with many issues remaining controversial, mainly regarding early detection, the role, type and timing of surgery and the value of non-operative therapies. We report a case of anterior abdominal wall desmoid tumor in a 40-year-old male with a previous history of surgery.

Abstract
Every year in Germany about 50,000 patients are referred and treated by radiotherapy (RT) for "non-malignant disorders". This highly successful treatment is applied only for specific indications such as preservation or recovery of the quality of life by means of pain reduction or resolution and/or an improvement of formerly impaired physical body function owing to specific disease-related symptoms. Since 1995, German radiation oncologists have treated non-malignant disorders according to national consensus guidelines; these guidelines were updated and further developed over 3 years by implementation of a systematic consensus process to achieve national upgraded and accepted S2e clinical practice guidelines. Throughout this process, international standards of evaluation were implemented. This review summarizes most of the generally accepted indications for the application of RT for non-malignant diseases and presents the special treatment concepts. The following disease groups are addressed: painful degenerative skeletal disorders, hyperproliferative disorders and symptomatic functional disorders. These state of the art guidelines may serve as a platform for daily clinical work; they provide a new starting point for quality assessment, future clinical research, including the design of prospective clinical trials, and outcome research in the underrepresented and less appreciated field of RT for non-malignant disorders.

Abstract
AIMS Desmoid-type fibromatoses (DFs) are rare soft-tissue neoplasms with frequent local recurrence. We sought to determine the prognostic factors that are predictive of recurrence-free survival (RFS) for these tumors. METHODS One hundred and fourteen consecutive patients with sporadic DF who received macroscopically complete resection (R0/R1) at a single tertiary hospital between 1985 and 2014 were included. A total of 10 clinical and pathological parameters were analyzed. Histologic slides and the margin status were re-checked; close margins (≤1-mm clearance) were noted separately and were considered together with the R1 margin. RESULTS The median follow-up interval was 72.5 months. Thirty-five (30.7%) patients had a local recurrence. The 2-, 5- and 10-year RFSs were 75.2%, 72.1% and 67.0%, respectively. In univariate analysis, age, tumor size, tumor site, margin status and presence of lesions at multiple sites had a significant impact on RFS. In multiple analysis, younger age (age<30 vs. age≥50 years: hazard ratio [HR] = 4.96; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.50-16.4; p = 0.009); an extra-abdominal site (extra-abdominal site vs. other sites: HR = 4.08; 95% CI, 1.49-11.2; p = 0.006); larger tumor size (≥8 cm vs. <8 cm: HR = 2.43; 95% CI, 1.15-5.13; p = 0.021); and close or positive margin status (close margin/R1 vs. R0: HR = 2.64; 95% CI, 1.11-6.25; p = 0.027) were independent, unfavorable prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS Different prognostic subgroups were identified that allow for the better selection of favorable therapeutic strategies. The role of the margin status should be considered with caution and should be based on a more precise pathological result.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors are rare, soft-tissue neoplasms that do not metastasize, but exhibit aggressive growth and local invasion. They originate most frequently from abdominal fascial structures, although they can also appear at extra-abdominal sites. The most common extra-abdominal locations include the shoulder, chest wall, back, thigh, and head and neck. In children, desmoid tumors are more infiltrative, having a tendency towards osseous involvement more frequently than in adult patients. We report acase of a supraspinatus muscle desmoid tumor in a female patient with clavicle destruction.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare, benign soft-tissue tumors that have the potential for local invasion, but not for metastasis. The tumors are commonly characterized by a palpable mass, but present a variable and unpredictable clinical course. The current study presents the case of a giant mediastinal DT exhibiting lung involvement. A 50-year-old female was referred to the West China Hospital (Chengdu, Sichuan, China) due to a recurrent DT that was identified one year following radical surgery. The patient subsequently received radiation therapy. The DT arose from the mediastinum, unlike the usual presentation, and recurrence presented as extensive invasion into the lung tissue, almost being misdiagnosed as lung cancer with brain metastasis. Tumor recurrence was diagnosed through contrast-enhanced computed tomography and histological examination of the tumor. A routine follow-up revealed no further tumor progression at 9 months post-admission. Taking into account the unpredictable treatment complications, recurrent DTs can be managed simply and efficiently. A ‘wait-and-see’ policy could be a viable therapeutic option for this disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the outcomes of surgical excision with or without adjuvant treatment in the management of desmoid tumors of the upper extremity. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 52 patients with a histologically confirmed desmoid tumor in the upper extremity that was managed surgically. All patients presented between 1970 and 2011 and had a minimum 2-year follow-up. RESULTS There were 25 males and 27 females with an average age of 37 ± 17 years. The most common location was the shoulder (n = 27). The most common symptom was a painful mass (n = 30). Average tumor size was 189 ± 371 cm(3). Negative margins (wide or marginal resection) were achieved in 43 patients. The 5-year disease-free interval was 57%. Patients with recurrence were younger than those without (31 vs 43 y). Postoperative radiotherapy increased the time to recurrence (2.6 vs 1.6 y) but ultimate disease-free interval at 5 years was similar in patients who did and did not receive radiotherapy. Compared with the preoperative evaluation, there was a significant reduction in patients reporting moderate or severe pain postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Desmoid tumors are locally aggressive fibrous tumors. Recurrence after surgical excision of a desmoid tumor in the upper extremity is common, especially in younger patients. Adjuvant radiation therapy tended to increase time to recurrence but not rate of recurrence. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic IV.

Fibromatosis of the breast is a rare condition that predominantly affects middle-aged women. It is locally aggressive, and exhibits a high incidence of local recurrence. The clinical presentation and radiological appearance are highly suspicious for carcinoma. Definitive diagnosis is made by diagnostic open biopsy. The aim of this review is to illustrate the main radiological and histopathological characteristics of this rare disease to increase awareness of this entity and discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in its management.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors are rare soft tissue tumors with limited data on their management and prognosis. We sought to determine the rates of recurrence after surgery for desmoid tumors and analyze factors predictive of recurrence-free survival (RFS). From February 1976 to October 2011, 233 consecutive patients with desmoid tumors who underwent macroscopically complete resection were included in this study. Clinicopathologic and treatment characteristics were evaluated to determine predictors of recurrence. Patterns of presentation included primary (n = 156, 67.0 %) and locally recurrent (n = 77, 33.0 %) disease initially treated elsewhere. Most patients had a R0 resection (n = 169, 72.5 %). In addition to surgery, 43 (18.5 %) patients received radiotherapy and 10 (4.3 %) patients received systemic therapy. Median follow-up was 54 months; recurrence disease was observed in 62 (26.6 %) patients. The estimated 5- and 10-year RFS was 74.2 % (95 % confidence interval (CI), 68.3-80.1) and 70.7 % (95 % CI, 64.2-77.2), respectively. Factors associated with worse RFS were tumor size larger than 5 cm (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.757; 95 % CI, 1.945-7.259; p < 0.001), extra-abdominal tumor location (abdominal wall referent; HR = 3.373; 95 % CI, 1.425-7.984; p = 0.006), and R1 resection status (HR = 1.901; 95 % CI, 1.140-3.171; p = 0.014). Patients were grouped according to the number of unfavorable prognostic factors; the 10-year RFS rates of patients with zero, one, two, and three prognostic factors were 100, 86.9, 48.5, and 34.4 %, respectively (p < 0.001). Regardless of primary or recurrent disease, surgical resection remains central to the management of patients with desmoid tumors. However, there are clearly different prognostic subgroups that could benefit from different therapeutic strategies, and a wait-and-see policy is a possible option for a subset of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmoids (aggressive fibromatosis) are defined as benign neoplasms of the connective tissue that arise from the deep muscle fascia, aponeurosis, tendons, and scar tissue. Recurrence rates between 40 and 80% were reported after surgery alone. We addressed the impact of radiation therapy (RT) in the management of aggressive fibromatosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A large literature review was performed, and the data was compared with the results of a multicenter study of the German Cooperative Group on Radiotherapy for Benign Diseases (GCG-BD). RESULTS This analysis included 52 patients treated with RT. 37 patients received postoperative RT (20 patients after R2 resection and 17 patients after R1 resection). 15 patients received RT alone (6 patients with inoperable primary tumor and 9 patients with inoperable recurrent tumor). In the case of postoperative RT, a median dose of 50 Gy (range 50-60 Gy) was used; for definitive RT, a median dose of 55 Gy (range 55-65 Gy) was used. The local control rate was 79% for the whole group. The median follow-up was 44 month (range 8-62 months). CONCLUSION Given the large number of patients, these data show that RT is highly effective in the treatment of desmoid tumors. RT is an attractive alternative to mutilating surgery.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors (DTs) are benign tumors that exhibit fibroblastic proliferation, which arises from fascial or musculoaponeurotic structures. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of patients with resectable DTs. A total of 21 patients were included and their clinicopathological characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. The 21 patients (16 females and 5 males) were identified through reviewing the patient charts at our institute. The tumor was located in the lower extremities in 7 cases, in the upper extremities in 4 cases, in the abdominal region in 9 cases and in the neck region in 1 case. Patients who had been initially treated by surgical excision were included in the study. Of these 21 patients, a positive surgical margin (SM) was reported in 11 patients, 7 of whom received postoperative radiotherapy (RT). Ten patients had a negative SM and 6 received RT. A total of 5 patients (46%) in the positive SM group and 4 (40%) in the negative SM group had documented disease relapse (P>0.05). The median relapse-free survival (RFS) was 20.5 months for the patients treated by surgery alone and 50 months for those treated with surgery followed by adjuvant RT (P>0.05). Age, gender, SM and adjuvant RT were not identified as predictors of recurrence. No predictive factors appeared to indicate local DT recurrence following surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The desmoid fibromatosis is a very rare connective tissue disease which is recognized as semimalignant. The aim of this work is to review the relevant literature and to analyze the management of our patient collective. MATERIAL AND METHOD Surgery was performed on 7 patients with extraabdominal desmoid fibromatosis between August 1998 and May 2007. MRI examination as well as biopsy was carried out in all cases. All patients were operated on; the mean follow up was 4 years (1-7). Upon follow up, every patient has undergone clinical and MRI examination. RESULTS The results show that we have achieved R0 resection in 4 cases and R1 in two cases and Rx in one case. In 4 patients, no recurrence was observed after the single surgery performed in our hospital. In 2 patients a single revision surgery was performed in each case and yielded no further recurrence. In only one case, multiple surgeries (one primary and two revision surgeries) were necessary, after which no recurrence was reported. CONCLUSION The early diagnosis of the disease is of utmost importance to the success of the outcome. MRI examination and biopsy are mandatory. Surgery is the therapy of choice. The recurrence rate is high and is linked to the difficulty of recognition of the exact infiltrative extent of the tumour. This necessitates a close follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognostic factors and optimal management of desmoid tumors have been discussed for decades. The authors present the results of a large series of patients with desmoid tumors treated at a single institution to investigate the prognostic factors influencing event-free survival (EFS) and suitable treatments for these rare tumors. METHODS Two hundred fourteen patients with desmoid tumors admitted to the surgical department were included, of whom 20 were recommended for a policy of watchful waiting. The following clinical parameters were studied: admission status, age, sex, tumor site, tumor size, margin status, and therapeutic strategy. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed for EFS. RESULTS Forty-two patients had local recurrence. One patient died of intra-abdominal disease. The 5-year and 10-year EFS rates were 78.8% and 77.9%, respectively. In univariate analysis, admission status, tumor site, tumor size, and group (R0 vs R1 and R0 vs R2) had significant impacts on EFS. EFS discrepancy was not significant between R1 and R2 or biopsy groups. In multivariate analysis, tumor size and admission status had independent value. The median delay to progression for patients undergoing watchful waiting was comparable with that for the surgical group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that tumor size and a history of recurrence are independent predictors of EFS. Surgery is warranted if it can be R0 and function sparing. Nonsurgical modalities or a policy of watchful waiting may be a better choice for unresectable disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The propensity of desmoid tumors to develop in scars has led some surgeons to limit the complexity of desmoid defect reconstruction as a strategy for avoiding desmoid recurrence. We hypothesized that desmoid recurrence rates are similar despite the magnitude of reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively compared recurrence rates between patients who underwent reconstruction and patients who underwent primary closure without reconstruction after desmoid tumor resection in consecutive patients for 15 years. Univariate and multivariate regression analyzed associations between patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics and outcomes. RESULTS We included 164 consecutive patients (80 [49%] reconstructions vs 84 [51%] primary closures). Mean follow-up duration was 7.1 ± 4.5 years. Patients who underwent reconstruction had more desmoids in an area of earlier trauma or surgery (p < 0.001), greater defect volume (p < 0.01), longer operative time (p < 0.001) and hospital stay (p < 0.001), and more postoperative complications (p = 0.015) compared with the primary closure group. Despite these differences, desmoid recurrence rates were similar for the reconstruction and primary closure groups (30% and 29%, respectively; p = 0.7), as was mean time to tumor recurrence, and no tumors recurred within flap donor sites. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated the 45F mutation to be the only independent predictor of recurrence (hazard ratio = 1.87; p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Rates of desmoid recurrence in resection defects are similar for primary closures and complex reconstructions. Therefore, surgeons should not limit the magnitude of reconstructions in an attempt to avoid tumor recurrence. However, given the propensity of desmoids to recur, reconstructions should allow for the possibility of future resections and reconstructions, particularly in tumors with 45F gene mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of desmoid tumor (DT) patients treated by surgical excision. METHODS Among 155 consecutive patients, 119 patients satisfied our inclusion criteria. The mean follow-up duration was 82 months. Age, gender, location, size, depth, resection margin, adjuvant radiotherapy, and excision history were analyzed for the outcomes. RESULTS The recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 75% at 5 years and 72% at 10 years. Twenty-seven (93.1%) out of 29 recurrences were detected within 5 years. In multivariate analysis, positive resection margin and excision history were independently associated with the RFS. In the comparison between the propensity score matched groups, adjuvant radiotherapy was not significantly associated with the RFS. The mean time interval from surgery to recurrence was 30.0 ± 28.7 months (median, 20 months; range, 4-123 months). This interval was significantly longer for patients who received adjuvant radiotherapy than for those who received surgical resection only, both in all recurrences and in recurrences in matched cases. CONCLUSIONS Surgical excision appears to be a reliable treatment option for DTs. However, positive outcomes require a clear resection margin. Adjuvant radiotherapy may delay the recurrence of the tumor, although it seems to have no effect on the ultimate relapse rate.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare lesions that do not possess any metastatic potential. However, they have a strong tendency to invade locally and recur. They constitute 3% of all soft tissue tumors and 0.03% of all neoplasms. Abdominal DTs occur sporadically or are associated with certain familial syndromes, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The single form of this neoplasm most frequently occurs in females of reproductive age and during pregnancy. A female patient with a DT of the abdominal wall who had no relevant family history was admitted to hospital. The patient, who presented with a painless mass in the left anterolateral abdomen, had no history of trauma, surgery or childbearing. According to the medical history, physical examination and CT report, the patient was diagnosed with DT. Radical resection of the affected abdominal wall musculature was performed, and the defect was replaced with a polypropylene mesh. The histological diagnosis was of DT. The patient remains in good health and complete remission without any other treatment following surgery. DTs exhibit aggressive growth and have a high rate of recurrence. Surgery is the optimal treatment, and subsequent radiotherapy may decrease the local recurrence rate. Further research into their aetiology is required combined with multicentre clinical trials of new treatments in order to improve management of this disease. This case report provides general knowledge of DT, and may be used as a guidance for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Desmoid-type fibromatosis is an uncommon and aggressive neoplasia, associated with a high rate of recurrence. It is characterized by an infiltrative but benign fibroblastic proliferation occurring within the deep soft tissues. There is no consensus about the treatment of those tumors. We present a surgical series of four cases, involving the brachial plexus (two cases), the median nerve and the medial brachial cutaneous nerve. Except for the last case, they were submitted to multiple surgical procedures and showed repeated recurrences. The diagnosis, the different ways of treatment and the prognosis of these tumoral lesions are discussed. Our results support the indication of radical surgery followed by radiotherapy as probably one of the best ways to treat those controversial lesions.

Abstract
We used 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F] fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) to evaluate patients with desmoid tumors undergoing therapy with imatinib. The study included 22 patients with progressive disease (PD) of a biopsy proven desmoid tumor treated orally with imatinib 800 mg daily. Patients were examined using PET prior to onset of therapy and during treatment. Restaging was performed in parallel using computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Outcome of 22 evaluable patients was as follows: five patients with partial response (PR); twelve patients with stable disease (SD) accounting for 77% with non-progressive disease; five patients showed PD. A 30% decrease of the mean average standardized uptake value (SUV) of sequential PET examinations could be demonstrated; no patient demonstrated a substantial increase in SUV. Patients with PR/SD were matched to a group of nonprogressive disease and tested versus PD. The initial average SUV and SUVmax seem to be candidates for a response prediction with an approximate P-value of 0.06553 and 0.07785, respectively. This is the first larger series of desmoid patients monitored using PET showing that early SUV changes may help to discriminate responders from nonresponders and, thus, to decide whether imatinib therapy should be continued.

Abstract
We report the case of a 57-year-old patient with a huge, retrovesical, aggressive desmoid fibromatosis detected incidentally during preoperative staging for radical prostatectomy. The tumor was locally invasive consisting of monoclonal and fibroblastic proliferations. The etiology of such tumors is not well known but they are mostly sporadic and aggressive fibromatosis is sometimes associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Gardner's syndrome. Such desmoid tumors are slow growing and locally invasive but lack metastatic potential. Complete resection with wide margins is the therapy of choice and the tendency to recur is high. Radiotherapy following surgery is controversial. We discuss the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and therapy of such rare tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmoid tumors are rare and exhibit a highly unpredictable natural history. We sought to analyze prognostic factors associated with recurrence in a large single-institution study of patients with desmoid tumors. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 177 patients with desmoid tumor who underwent macroscopically complete surgical resection, with or without the addition of radiotherapy (RT) or systemic therapy, from 1970 to 2009. We examined patterns of presentation, all known risk factors for recurrence, and their association with recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS Twenty-two patients (12 %) had intra-abdominal desmoid tumors, and 155 (88 %) had extra-abdominal tumors. Patterns of presentation included primary (n = 133, 75 %) and locally recurrent (n = 44, 25 %) disease. Treatment was surgery alone in 125 patients (71 %), surgery and RT in 36 (20 %), and surgery and systemic therapy with or without RT in 20 (11 %). Median follow-up was 40 months. Overall, the local relapse rate was 29 %, and 10-year RFS was 60 %. R0 resection status was the only predictor of freedom from local recurrence on multivariate analysis (odds ratio 0.32; 95 % confidence interval 0.15-0.66; P = 0.002). The selective use of adjuvant RT appeared to improve local control in patients with positive margins. CONCLUSIONS For patients with desmoid tumors undergoing surgery, wide excision with negative margins should be the goal, but not at the expense of function, as fewer than half of patients with positive margins will experience recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) or desmoid tumor of the head and neck region is a rare, usually unresectable, benign soft tissue tumor with locally aggressive behavior. METHODS AND RESULTS A 31-year-old woman presented with a progressive trismus, a swelling in the retromandibular area, as well as loss of sensibility of the maxillary and mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. MRI of the head and neck revealed an infiltrative mass involving the masticator, parapharyngeal, and prevertebral and paravertebral space on the left with intracranial extension through the orbital fissure. After the fifth biopsy, 15 months after presentation, the diagnosis of AF was made. The tumor was unresectable, so intensity-modulated radiotherapy was given with curative intent using a total dose of 60 Gy in 30 fractions of 2 Gy. After 16 months, she showed progressive disease, for which tamoxifen 40 mg twice daily was started with a good response for 2 years. After that, she started with sorafinib, on which she has stable disease now. CONCLUSION The often long delay in proper diagnosis and the treatment challenges of a desmoid tumor are illustrated in this case. Furthermore, this article reviews the literature concerning AF, especially of the head and neck region.

Abstract
A desmoid tumor, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, is a rare benign neoplasm that arises from fascial or musculoaponeurotic tissues. It can occur in any anatomical location, most commonly the abdominal wall, shoulder girdle and retroperitoneum. The typical clinical presentation is a painless mass with a slow and progressive invasion of contiguous structures. It is associated with a high local recurrence rate after resection. Many issues regarding the optimal treatment of desmoid tumors remain controversial. Aggressive surgical resection with a wide margin (2-3 cm) remains the gold standard treatment with regard to preserving quality of life. Radiotherapy alone has been shown to be effective for the control of unresectable or recurrent lesions. Desmoid tumors tend to be locally infiltrative, therefore, the fields must be generous to prevent marginal recurrence. The radiation dose appropriate for treating desmoid tumors remains controversial. We present a 25-year-old Caucasian man with local recurrence of a desmoid tumor after repeated surgical resection, treated with radiotherapy. The patient achieved complete tumor regression at 4 mo after radiotherapy, and he is clinically free of disease at 12 mo after the end of treatment, with an acceptable quality of life. The patient developed short bowel syndrome as a complication of second surgical resection. Consequently, radiotherapy might have worsened an already present malabsorption and so led to steatohepatitis.

Abstract
Extra-abdominal desmoid tumors are a significant cause of morbidity in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome. Understanding of the basic biology and natural history of these tumors has increased substantially over the past decade. Accordingly, medical and surgical management of desmoid tumors has also evolved. This paper analyzes recent evidence pertaining to the epidemiology, molecular biology, histopathology, screening, and treatment of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors associated with familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome.

Abstract
Breast fibromatosis is a rare entity responsible for 0.2% of all solid breast tumors. It has been associated with scars, pregnancy, implants, and familial adenomatous polyposis. We present an interesting case of breast fibromatosis in a 29 year old woman which encroached upon her saline implant and subsequently filled its cavity once the implant was removed. The patient was put on tamoxifen therapy and at 14 month follow-up there was a significant decrease in the size of the mass. Dynamic MRI images are offered for review and current treatment options are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Desmoid tumours of the breast are rare. Although benign, they can mimic breast cancer on physical examination, mammography and breast ultrasound and can also be locally invasive. Even though they occur sporadically, they can also be seen as a part of Gardner's syndrome. We describe a case of desmoid tumour in a woman with Gardner's syndrome where the lesion was mammographically occult. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 63-year old woman presented with four months history of a painful left breast lump. She had a screening mammogram seven months ago which was normal. She is known to have Gardner's syndrome and had a total colectomy, she has also had multiple abdominal desmoids excised in the past. On examination there was a 4cm×5cm firm, mobile lump in the left breast. Her mammograms in the clinic were also normal. Ultrasound suggested a benign lesion of the breast and a core biopsy showed it to be a benign spindle cell lesion. She underwent wide local excision of the lump, the intraoperative mammograms of the excised specimen also failed to detect the lesion. Histopathology of the excised specimen confirmed the tumour to be a benign desmoid tumour. She has now been offered radiotherapy and nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce her chances of a local recurrence. CONCLUSION A high index of suspicion and a thorough triple examination protocol is necessary to detect rare lesions like a desmoid tumour which can masquerade as breast carcinoma.
