Abstract

Desmoid tumor (Agressive fibromatosis) is a fibrous tissue proliferation which has fast and infiltrative growth, high recurrence rate but does not metastase, originating from superficial and deep tissues. Desmoid tumor is more common in women. Despite its benign histologic features, it is associated with an aggresive clinical course characterized by invasive local behaviour. In this study, radiological findings of a female patient with a rare abdominal wall desmoid tumor are presented.

Abdominal Duvar Desmoid Tümörünün Radyolojik Bulguları

Abstract

Desmoid tümör (Agresif fibromatozis) yüzeyel ve derin dokulardan köken alan, hızlı ve infiltratif büyüyen, nüks oranı yüksek ancak metastaz yapmayan fibröz doku proliferasyonudur. Kadınlarda daha sık görülür. Benign histolojik özelliklerinerağmen lokal invaziv davranışlar ile agresif bir klinik sergiler. Bu çalışmamızda nadir görülen abdominal duvar desmoid tümörü olan kadın olgunun radyolojik bulgularını sunmayı amaçladık.
