Overview

Common risk factors for the development of desmoid tumor include personal or family history of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Gardner syndrome, Turcot syndrome, specific location of APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene mutation i.e. 3' of codon 1444, family history of desmoid tumor, estrogen therapy, pregnancy, history of antecedent surgical or accidental trauma or repeated irradiation at the tumor site, female gender and androgens.

Risk Factors

Common risk factors for the development of desmoid tumor include:[1]

Common risk factors for development of desmoid tumor
Risk factors Associated features
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) (10-20%)[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
  • 852 times elevated risk of developing desmoids in FAP patients as compared to general population
  • Mostly desmoids in FAP are intra-abdominal or involve abdominal wall
  • Most of these desmoids are unresectable associated with diffuse infiltration of mesentery
  • FAP is associated with mutations in the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene, located on chromosome 5q21-q22
  • Sometimes, only manifestation of APC mutation is desmoid
  • FAP screening recommended in patients with multiple intraabdominal or truncal desmoid tumors
  • Risk of finding FAP in patients who develop a desmoid without a prior history of FAP is relatively low (4.8% only)
  • Colonoscopy is recommended for all patients diagnosed with a desmoid tumor, particularly an intraabdominal desmoid
Gardner syndrome (inherited desmoids)
Turcot syndrome
Specific location of APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene mutation i.e. 3' end of the APC gene, specifically between codons 1445 and 1580[12][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]
  • Mutations between codons 1310 and 2011 are associated with a sixfold risk of desmoid tumors relative to the low-risk reference region (159 to 495)
Family history of desmoid tumor
Family history of colon cancer/FAP
  • Obtain an accurate family history, particularly of colon cancer, during the initial evaluation
Estrogen therapy[26]
Pregnancy[27][28][29][30]
  • Extraabdominal and abdominal desmoids occur in women during or following pregnancy
  • Presents as an abdominal mass separate from uterus
  • Occurs in pregnancy due to:
    • Pregnancy-associated high estrogen levels
    • Trauma related to the pregnancy (including a scar from a prior Cesarean section)
  • History of desmoid resection in prior pregnancy is associated with low recurrence risk in future pregnancies
  • Existing desmoid (pregnancy-associated or predating any pregnancy) managed with watchful waiting has a chance to grow during a subsequent pregnancy (but not always)
  • Good overall outcomes without attributable obstetric complications
History of antecedent surgical/accidental trauma at the tumor site (30%)[31][32]
  • Previous abdominal surgery in patients with FAP
  • Previous pelvic surgery
  • In one-half patients, desmoids can develop within first five years post-surgery
History of breast cancer[33] History of breast cancer or previous breast surgery is associated with breast desmoids
History of repeated irradiation to a certain body part
Female gender
Sex hormones/androgens [34]
  • Desmoid tumours express receptors for sex steroid hormones
