Summary
Multifocal desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) can appear as distinct lesions but may represent contiguous neural spread. Detailed imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis, distinguishing true multifocal development from nerve infiltration.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Radiology
Background:
- Multifocal desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) is exceptionally rare and typically presents regionally.
- The differential diagnosis of multifocal presentations can be challenging.
