Immunohistochemical characteristics of desmoid tumors.
A comparative morphological study of primary and relapsing desmoid tumors was carried out. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the progress of desmoid tumors in the form of relapses was paralleled by an increase in the counts of immunopositive cells and intensity of β-catenin and cycloxygenase-2 expression.
