Multicentric extra-abdominal desmoid tumors arising in bilateral lower limbs

Rare Tumors. 2010 Mar 31;2(1):e12. doi: 10.4081/rt.2010.e12.

Abstract

Extra-abdominal desmoid tumors preferentially affect the shoulders, arms, backs, buttocks, and thighs of young adults. Multicentric occurrence is rather rare but seems to be another distinctive feature of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors. In this article we report a rare case of multicentric extra-abdominal desmoid tumors arising in bilateral lower limbs.

Keywords: bilateral limbs; desmoid; radiation.
