| Popis: | Desmoid tumors, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are locally infiltrating musculoaponeurotic neoplasms arising in connective tissues. Desmoid tumors may be associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a genetic disorder that presents with hundreds to thousands of precancerous colorectal polyps. The authors report the case of an 18-month-old boy who underwent resection of a right temporal desmoid tumor (initially diagnosed as cranial fasciitis) and developed a bilateral frontoparietal calvarial desmoid tumor 2 years later. The patient underwent gross-total resection of the tumor that required a large cranioplasty. He was subsequently diagnosed with FAP. The patient has been without tumor recurrence for 9 years afterwards and has not required revision of his cranioplasty. This is the first report describing a recurrent cranial desmoid tumor in a pediatric patient with FAP. The authors believe, however, that some of the cases previously reported as cranial fasciitis are likely desmoid tumors pathobiologically and genetically. |
