REVISÃO SOBRE TUMORES DESMÓIDE DE PAREDE ABDOMINAL

Abstract

Desmoid tumors are connective tissue neoplasms, characterized by having exclusively locoregional growth, frequent recurrence and minimal metastatic potential. They mainly affect patients with familial adenomatous polyposis of the colon, and their isolated occurrence is extremely rare. The objective of this study is to characterize, through a literature review, the main characteristics of patients with desmoid tumor and the treatments used in this neoplasm. The results showed that Desmoid tumors are benign neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, which are characterized by low histological grade, low metastatic potential, locoregional growth and considerable rates of local recurrence after resection, with tissue trauma being one of the factors involved in the genesis of these lesions.
