desmoid tumor - rare tumor of fibrous tissue

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 genetic syndrome such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

Histologically they resemble low-grade fibrosarcomas, but they are very infiltrative and tend to recur even after complete resection (systemic metastasis is rare).
