Desmoid Tumours of the extremity and trunk: A retrospective study of 44 patients

Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a aggressive (myo) fibroblastic neoplasm with an infiltrative growth and a tendency to local recurrence. Resection of the tumour and/or radiation were proposed as principal treatment. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the local control rates focusing on the effect of surgical margins and radiotherapy.
