title: [Desmoid tumors].
abstract: Desmoid tumors in various anatomic sites were treated in 4 females and 3 males, ranging in age from 16-50 years, during a 6-year period. In 5 the tumor was completely excised with free margins. In the other 2 excision was incomplete and the tumor recurred within a few months. Desmoid tumors have a marked tendency to local recurrence, and therefore should be widely excised. There is no evidence that adjuvant therapy has a place in the management of these tumors.
