Abstrakt: Desmoid fibromatosis is a locally aggressive tumor with an unpredictable clinical course. Surgery was once the mainstay of treatment, but the treatment protocol has been constantly evolving and currently active surveillance is the front-line approach. There have been significant insights into the molecular biology with the addition of mutational analysis of CTNNB1 adding to prognostic information. We present a review of the literature with current practice guidelines, also including novel therapeutic targets and ongoing clinical trials, to unravel the next step in the management of sporadic desmoid fibromatosis.
