Summary
Desmoid tumors in children with Gardner syndrome can affect the shoulder. Dynamic reconstruction preserved scapular stability after radical resection, demonstrating effective multidisciplinary management.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Orthopedic Reconstruction
Background:
- Desmoid tumors are rare, locally aggressive fibroblastic neoplasms.
- In pediatric Gardner syndrome, abdominal wall tumors are common, but scapular involvement is rare and surgically complex.
- Scapular winging is a risk after resecting stabilizing muscles.
