Diagnosis is difficult and treatment protocols have changed to include more non-surgical options as compared with sarcoma. This is a retrospective study of the clinical presentation, imaging findings, treatment given, and outcomes of pathologically proven desmoid-type fibromatosis patients who presented to government medical college Kozhikode.
