title: Desmoid tumours of the neck: rare but problematic.
abstract: Desmoids of the neck are histologically benign but locally aggressive fibrous tumours with a strong propensity to recur. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, with patients requiring long-term follow-up. We present such a case and review the treatment of such tumours.
