Abstract

Abdominal desmoid tumor or fibromatosis is a benign non-urological connective tumor which can be mistaken for a urological tumor due to its localization (generally in muscles and aponeurosis of the abdominal wall). It is locally invasive and potentially recurrent. We report on a 53-year-old male with abdominal desmoid tumor whose only symptom was pain. The clinical diagnosis was corroborated by the US and CT findings and confirmed by anatomopathological findings. Wide local surgical excision is the treatment of choice since hormone therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy achieved scant results.

Transplantation for the treatment of intra-abdominal fibromatosis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: During the last 9 years we treated 14 patients with a diagnosis of intra-abdominal fibromatosis. The 11 patients who received an intestinal allograft included isolated intestine (n = 6), liver-intestine (n = 1), intestine-kidney (n = 1), multivisceral (n = 1), multivisceral-kidney (n = 1), multivisceral-no liver (n = 1). Three patients received an intestinal autograft after partial abdominal evisceration and ex vivo tumor resection. Three patients additionally underwent an abdominal wall allograft. RESULTS: At follow-up until August 2004, all autotransplant patients are alive. Four intestinal transplant patients died within the first postoperative month. There were three graft losses. A patient who lost his graft early postoperatively was retransplanted but died of sepsis shortly there after. Two more patients lost their graft due to severe rejection and were retransplanted successfully. Two patients developed desmoid tumor recurrence in their abdominal or thoracic wall. Ten patients are alive 1 to 9 years posttransplantation. Nine have fully functioning grafts and one patient requires TPN supplementation at night due to dysmotility of her autograft. CONCLUSION: Intestinal allo-, or autotransplantation combined with transplantation of the abdominal wall can be lifesaving for patients suffering from extensive intra-abdominal fibromatosis.

[Desmoid tumor of the chest wall: a case report].

A 45-year-old man was referred to our hospital for recurrent desmoid tumor of the chest wall. He underwent chest wall resection with reconstruction of Marlex mesh. But we could not resect it enough widely, because the tumor invaded beside left subclavian artery and subclavian vein, brachioflexus. So he had additional radiation therapy (50 gry). The patient is now doing well without recurrence 1 year after the operation.
