[Collagen in desmoids (an immunomorphological study)].
The results of immunomorphological analysis of 4 collagen types in desmoids of different localization and behaviour are presented. Biopsies of 12 nodes (6 cases of abdominal and 6 cases of extraabdominal localization) were studied. Two groups of desmoids were defined depending on the character of different collagen types distribution. Desmoids of the first group were characterized by a high content of type I and III collagen, both types being found at approximately equal proportions. Clinically predominant abdominal localization and primary character of processes were typical for this group. Collagen of type III clearly predominated in the desmoids of the second group; extraabdominal localization, recurrences, and a young age of patients were characteristic features of this group.
