Successful iterative percutaneous cryoablation of multiple extraabdominal desmoid tumors in a patient with gardner syndrome

摘要

Desmoid tumors, also called aggressive fibromatosis, are rare fibrous benign neoplasms originating in muscu-loaponeurotic structure (1) that are classified into intra-and extraabdominal types. Although they never metasta-size, extraabdominal desmoid tumors are challenging to manage as a result of locally infiltrative extension. Surgical excision with wide margins is the main therapy for extraabdominal desmoid tumors, but local recurrence is common, even after apparent complete surgical excision, and occurs in an average of 40% of cases (range, 19%-77%) (2).
