Desmoid tumors, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are benign neoplasms originating from mesenchymal cells or fibroblasts. Despite their benign nature, these tumors are locally aggressive and do not metastasize distantly. They account for less than 3% of all soft tissue tumor...
Desmoid tumors of the colon are exceptionally rare and represent an aggressive form of intra-abdominal desmoid tumors. The sigmoid colon mesentery, while generally associated with lower morbidity, can be affected by these tumors. The etiology of mesenteric desmoid tumors includes...
Desmoid tumors are benign, tumors arising from connective tissue within musculoaponeurotic structures. Classically these tumors do not metastatic but locally invasive and high rate of recurrence. Desmoid tumors, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, deep fibromatosis or musculoa...
Gastric leiomyosarcoma accounts for 1% of all gastric tumors. This type of tumor typically arises from the muscularis propria and is most often found in the body, fundus, cardia, and pyloric antrum of the stomach. Gastric leiomyosarcoma commonly presents as a polypoidal mass, exo...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) represent less than 1% of all gastro intestinal stromal tumors (GISTS) and are main in the stomach and small intestine. Mesenteric GIST is rarely reported as they constitute 5 to 10% of GIST. It originates from the intestinal cells of Cajal....
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors that typically occur in the gastrointestinal tract. About 70% of GISTs are benign, while approximately 30% are malignant. GISTs represent less than 0.1% to 3% of all gastrointestinal tumors. These tumors are thought t...
