title: Multicentric extra-abdominal desmoid tumours.
abstract: Despite their classification as benign, desmoid tumours are difficult to diagnose and manage. They are prone to recurrence and resection can be debilitating. Rarely, synchronous or metachronous multicentric desmoid tumours occur and may require further excision. Therefore, early detection of recurrence and multicentric tumours is vital. We present a case of metachronous desmoid tumours, and review the literature to propose a treatment pathway.
