Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Desmoid tumors, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are rare neoplastic proliferations of fibroblasts.
  • Multicentric presentation involving distant sites is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 17-year-old male presented with simultaneous, equally sized desmoid tumors at two distinct locations: the left hip and left popliteal fossa.
  • The proximal tumor involved the femoral bone, while the distal tumor infiltrated surrounding muscles, nerves, and vessels.
  • No familial polyposis or Gardner's syndrome features were identified.

Findings:

  • Intralesional resection of both desmoid tumors was performed.
  • Postoperative fractionated radiotherapy was administered to both sites.

Implications:
