Extra-Abdominal Desmoid Tumors Associated with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Extra-Abdominal Desmoid Tumors Associated with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Extra-abdominal desmoid tumors are a significant cause of morbidity in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome. Understanding of the basic biology and natural history of these tumors has increased substantially over the past decade. Accordingly, medical and surgical management of desmo...
