==Overview==
A '''desmoid tumor''' (sometimes referred to as ''aggressive fibromatosis'') is a rare (3 per million population) [[tumor]] that may or may not be part of a [[genetics|genetic]] [[syndrome]] such as [[familial adenomatous polyposis]] (FAP).


==Classification==
{{SK}}
Desmoid tumors may be classified as extra-[[human abdomen|abdominal]], [[layers of the abdominal wall|abdominal wall]], or intra-abdominal (the last is more common in patients with FAP). It is thought that the lesions may develop in relation to [[estrogen]] levels or [[physical trauma|trauma]]/[[surgery|operations]].


==Pathophysiology==
==[[Desmoid tumor overview|Overview]]==
===Microscopic Pathology===
 
Histologically, Desmoid tumors resemble [[grading (tumors)|low-grade]] [[fibrosarcoma]]s, but they are very [[infiltration (medicine)|infiltrative]] and tend to recur even after complete resection (systemic [[metastasis]] is rare).

==Treatment==
Treatment may consist of watching and waiting, complete [[surgery|surgical]] removal, [[radiation therapy]], [[antiestrogens]] and [[non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug|NSAIDs]], or [[chemotherapy]].
