Abstract: A 57-year-old woman with a previous history of aesthetic surgery for breast reduction presented with a subcutaneous mass in the right axilla. A CT scan showed a solid mass on the chest wall, and she underwent surgical resection with a diagnosis of aggressive fibromatosis. After a 10-month period of follow-up, a local recurrence occurred, and in accordance with the up-to-date approach, the recurrence has been treated with a conservative approach (medical treatments) with good control of the symptoms and downsiz… Show more

Background and purposePediatric desmoid tumor (PDT) is rare and has a high local recurrence rate. The purpose of the present study was to analyze clinical risk factors of local recurrence in PDT patients.Materials and methodsWe reviewed clinical data of 66 PDT patients from 2004 to 2015. All patients underwent macroscopically complete resection, and some recurrent tumors were prescribed radiotherapy. Factors such as sex, age at presentation, location, and proximity to nerves or vasculature were analyzed. The local recurrence rate and recurrence-free survival were analyzed with these factors.ResultsAll patients in the present study were children and had extra-abdominal tumors. The median follow-up time was 6.6 years. Thirty-six (55%) patients had local recurrence. Age, sex, tumor site, tumor size, and proximity to nerves/vasculature had a significant impact on prognosis in univariate analysis. Radiotherapy decreased the local recurrence rate. In multivariate analysis, younger age, tumor location in buttocks, larger tumor, and proximity to important nerves/vasculature were independent risk factors for poor prognosis.ConclusionsFavorable therapeutic strategies could be selected according to the preoperative prognostic risk factors. Radiotherapy should be considered for local recurrence of PDT.

Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) is a rare benign tumor, which occurs in the deep part of bone and muscle fibrous tissue. Clinical and pathological features can be challenging for definitive diagnosis. Here, we report a rare case of a large AF in the axilla. Interestingly, 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed significant increase in standard uptake value. Surgical resection yielded a spindle cell tumor likely of fibromatosis origin which was positive for β-catenin expression.

Fibromatosis is an extremely rare tumor that arises from the myofascial tissue and has high rates of infiltration and recurrence. Fibromatosis of the chest wall is even less common, and wide surgical resection is the preferred treatment alternative to radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and systemic treatments. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy with radiologically and pathologically confirmed fibromatosis of the periscapular region who underwent wide resection. We discuss diagnosis, treatment options, and technical pearls for a desmoid tumor of the chest wall. The resection should go through healthy tissue because of the infiltrative nature of the tumor. Although visceral involvement did not occur in this case, surgeons should be aware of its possibility, and surgery should be performed by a multidisciplinary team, including a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, a thoracic surgeon, and an anesthesiologist.
