Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm with a locally invasive pattern and high risk of local recurrence after surgery. Historically, the standard treatment for DTF was surgical resection. However, considering the difficulty of achieving surgical eradication, the possible unnecessary morbidity and the unpredictability of the natural history, a wait-and-see approach has been proposed for asymptomatic DTF.

Abstract

Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm with a locally invasive pattern and high risk of local recurrence after surgery. Historically, the standard treatment for DTF was surgical resection. However, considering the difficulty of achieving surgical eradication, the possible unnecessary morbidity and the unpredictability of the natural history, a wait-and-see approach has been proposed for asymptomatic DTF.
