| Abstrakt: | A desmoid tumour, also known as aggressive fibrous tumour or desmoid fibromatosis, is a rare, benign tumour originating from connective tissue cells. Desmoid tumours account for approximately 0.03+% of all neoplasms and less than 3+% of all soft tissue tumours. The estimated incidence in the general population is 2 to 4 cases per million people per year [1]. Desmoid tumours are characterised by aggressive growth but typically do not metastasize. They often occur in young adults and preferably affect specific body regions such as the abdomen, shoulder, chest, or extremities. The exact cause of the condition is not fully understood, but genetic changes and hormonal factors may play a role. Symptoms of a desmoid tumour depend on its location and size, with pain, swelling, or restricted movement commonly occurring. A diagnosis is typically made through a tissue sample (biopsy) and imaging techniques such as MRI or CT [2]. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of recurrence of a desmoid tumour in the scar at the donor site of a latissimus dorsi flap previously used for the reconstruction of desmoid resection in the lower leg.
