Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a relatively rare disease, often associated with familial adenomatous polyposis and a history of abdominal surgery. A 43-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain and contrast-enhanced CT showed a mass in the lower abdomen. The mass was a 4×4×3 cm white, dense tumor with a wreath-like arrangement of eosinophilic spindle-shaped cells. Immunostaining showed KIT(-), CD34(-), desmin(-), β-catenin(+), SMA(few+), and the diagnosis was desmoid-type fibrosis. Six months after surgery, there was no apparent recurrence.

The patient was a 27-year-old man. He was referred to our hospital because he was aware of a mass in his abdomen. An abdominal ultrasound showed a 70-mm mass lesion. Enhanced computed tomography showed a 70-mm mass with well- defined margins and heterogeneous internal enhancement near the proximal jejunum. The patient was diagnosed with a suspected primary submucosal tumor of the duodenum or small intestine, and surgery was planned to diagnose and treat the tumor. The tumor was located in the upper jejunal mesentery, and tumor resection and partial small bowel resection were performed. Histopathological examination revealed proliferation of spindle-shaped cells without karyomitosis, and mixed collagen fibers in the tissue. Immunohistochemistry showed β-catenin(+), SMA(+), AE1/AE3(-), KIT(-), CD34(-), and S-100(-). Based on these findings, we diagnosed primary desmoid fibromatosis of the small intestinal mesentery. In this report, we describe a case of primary desmoid fibromatosis of the small intestinal mesentery with a review of the literature.

Desmoid tumors are rare soft-tissue tumors that exhibit locoregional aggressiveness and a high local recurrence rate following initial resection. No fixed recommendations have been established with regard to the timing and method of treatment for desmoid tumors that enlarge during pregnancy. Desmoid tumors tend to enlarge during pregnancy, and most do not regress spontaneously postpartum. Thus, surgery may be required even during pregnancy. We report a case of an abdominal wall desmoid tumor that grew to 90 mm during pregnancy and was resected at 17 weeks of gestation. Marginal resection was performed, and the surgical margin was microscopically positive. The postoperative course and the pregnancy were uneventful, and no recurrence was observed at the 15-month follow-up visit.

The patient is a 22-year-old, female. She had a family history of familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP)and a prophylactic total colorectal resection was performed for FAP at age of 18. She presented with fever and abdominal distention and palpated a mass with tenderness in the right lower abdomen. Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen showed a heterogeneous contrast effect around the tumor margins. With the diagnosis of intra-abdominal desmoid tumor, a partial duodenal resection, small bowel mass resection, and right fallopian tube resection were performed along with the tumor, and an artificial anus was created with the jejunum. Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen 16 months after resection of desmoid tumor showed a 6.5 cm long desmoid tumor recurrence in the mesentery. She received 5 courses of doxorubicin (DOX)plus dacarbazine(DTIC)therapy followed by continued NSAIDs. Seven years after the operation, she has been able to maintain the shrinkage of the recurrent tumor and is still on medication. Long-term surveillance is necessary because of the possibility of the appearance of other associated lesions in the future.

Desmoid tumor is a rare tumor of the soft tissue. The frequency of occurrence is 2.4 to 4.3 cases per year per million people, which is a very rare disease. We experienced a huge intra-abdominal desmoid tumor which is thought to be the primary mesentery. The case was a male in his 20s. He visited a nearby doctor with a complaint of abdominal bloating and abdominal pain. Abdominal contrast CT revealed a huge abdominal mass with a clear boundary of 35×25 cm in size extending from the upper right abdomen to the pelvis. Surgery was performed with a diagnosis of an intra-abdominal mass. Open abdominal tumor resection. Due to infiltration into the duodenum, transverse colon, and pancreas, right hemicolectomy and duodenal combined resection were performed. The pathological diagnosis was a diagnosis of desmoid tumor.

A 71-year-old man with pathological Stage Ⅰ(pT1bN0M0)underwent laparoscopic sigmoid colon cancer resection. After 18 months postoperatively, follow-up computed tomography(CT)showed a 30 mm enhanced soft tissue tumor near the anastomotic site. Considering the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and positron emission tomography(PET)results, we diagnosed sigmoid colon cancer with local recurrence. Laparoscopic radical resection of the colon and intestine, including the tumor, was performed. Pathologically, the tumor comprised spindle-shaped cells with collagen fibers and was diagnosed as a desmoid tumor by immunostaining(β-catenin+, c-kit-, CD34-, α-SMA-, and DOG-1-). We report a case of intra-abdominal desmoid tumor near the anastomotic site after laparoscopic sigmoid colon cancer resection.
