Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a benign soft tissue lesion in the fibroblastic/myofibroblastic group of tumours.
It is also known as desmoid tumour and desmoid fibromatosis.
General
- Benign.
- One of many fibromatoses.
- Locally aggressive.[1]
- May be seen in the context of familial adenomatous polyposis.
Gross
Features:[2]
- Location:
- Abdominal wall, proximal extremities - classic for adolescents and women.
- Head and neck - classic for children.
- Circumscribed mass.
- May be quite large (>10 cm).
Microscopic
- "Sweeping fascicles"/bundles.
- Spindle cells with:
- Small slender nuclei.
- Solid dark eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- +/-Mitoses - may be abundant.
- Long thin-walled vessels - parallel to one another - important feature.
DDx:
- Hypertrophic scar-like lesion, see dermal scar.
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumour[4] - reported in abdominal wall.[5]
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis - no beta-catenin staining.[4]
- Other fibromatoses.
- Nodular fasciitis - esp. with RBC extravasation.
- Schwannoma.

IHC
Features:[2]
- Beta-catenin +ve (nuclear[4]) - important.
- 100% sensitive... may not be completely specific (?).[8]
- SMA +ve ~50% of lesions.
Others:
- CD117 -ve.
Sign out
LESION, ABDOMINAL WALL, BIOPSY: - DESMOID-TYPE FIBROMATOSIS. COMMENT: The tumour stains strongly with beta-catenin and weakly with SMA. It is negative for CD117.
