Overview
Surgical resection is not recommended among patients with advanced or metastatic malignancy.[1]
Surgery
- Surgical resection is not recommended among patients with advanced or metastatic malignancy.[1]
- Desmoid tumor does not have any propensity for metastasis although it may aggressively invade structures.
- The optimal management for aggressive fibromatosis depends on tumor location and extent.
- Surgical resection may be offered although the likelihood of local recurrence after surgery is high, particularly if margins are positive.
- Wide local excision followed by reconstruction of the defect is the treatment of choice.
- Full-thickness resection of the tumor-containing abdominal wall with a grossly negative margin has to be performed when the lesion closely approximates or involves the peritoneum.
- Intraperitoneal organs or adjacent bony structures involved by tumor must be resected as well.
- Incomplete tumor removal or involved excision margins may lead to local recurrence.
