title: Long-term follow-up of a recurrent multifocal desmoid tumour treated with tamoxifen: a case report.
abstract: We report a long-term follow-up of a female patient with a multifocal extremity desmoid tumour. She had 3 local recurrences after excision and developed a second unresectable pelvic tumour that has remained unchanged in size for 14 years since starting tamoxifen treatment.
