Clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of abdominal desmoid tumors in the Chinese population: A single-center report of 15 cases.

In conclusion, Abdominal DTs were prone to occur in patients with FAP with a history of abdominal surgery. Mutations in the APC, CTNNB1 and MUTYH genes were detected in patients with DTs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of abdominal DT occurrence in patients with MUTYH-associated FAP. The prognosis of DT associated with FAP may be worse compared with that of sporadic DT. PMID: 31807167 [PubMed]
