Abstract
|
|
|
|
Desmoid tumors are rare soft tissue tumors arising from the fascia or from musculoaponeurotic structures. Multifocal desmoid tumors are rare. In patients with Gardner’s syndrome or familial polyposis, most cases may occur in the abdominal wall and mesenteries, but are typically only seen after abdominal surgery. A desmoid tumor arising in the terminal ileum is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, there is no case report of a sporadic desmoid tumor arising in the terminal ileum and rectus abdominal muscle. We report a case of a sporadic desmoid tumor arising in the terminal ileum and rectus abdominal muscle that presented as a palpable mass of the right upper abdomen in a 38-year-old woman. This finding draws attention to the related findings of previous studies on desmoids tumors.
