Abdominal desmoid tumors, benign growths in the abdominal wall, can mimic urological issues. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment due to limited success with other therapies.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Abdominal desmoid tumors (fibromatosis) are benign connective tissue neoplasms.
  • They originate in abdominal wall muscles and aponeuroses, mimicking urological tumors.
  • These tumors are locally invasive and prone to recurrence.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old male presented with abdominal pain as his sole symptom.
  • Imaging studies, including ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT), supported the clinical suspicion.
  • Definitive diagnosis was established through anatomopathological examination.

Findings:

  • Abdominal desmoid tumors are locally invasive and prone to recurrence.
  • Wide local surgical excision is identified as the primary treatment modality.
  • Hormone therapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have demonstrated limited efficacy.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate desmoid tumors from urological malignancies.
  • Surgical intervention is paramount for effective management and preventing recurrence.
  • Further research may explore novel therapeutic strategies for refractory cases.
