Desmoid-type fibromatosis/Desmoid tumor
-Locally aggressive, recurring, non-metastasizing tumor of connective tissue
-Localization:
extremities (30-40%)
abdominal wall (20%)
chest wall (10-15%)
retroperitoneum (15%)
head and neck, paraspinal
-Presentation as a usually initially painless mass, possible role of trauma
-Many cases in the abdominal wall occur after pregnancy

Molecular features of desmoids
• The majority (90-95%) of desmoids are sporadic and have a mutation in the beta-Catenin gene which appears necessary for a desmoid to develop*

Molecular features of desmoids
• The majority (90-95%) of desmoids are sporadic and have a mutation in the beta-Catenin gene which appears necessary for a desmoid to develop
• A smaller number of desmoids occurs as part of the Gardner syndrome (APC gene), an inheritable disorder that is characterized by numerous polyps polyps in the colon, with an increased risk for colon cancer

Molecular features of desmoids

• A smaller number of desmoids occurs as part of the Gardner syndrome (APC gene), an inheritable disorder that is characterized by numerous polyps polyps in the colon, with an increased risk for colon cancer
• In both types of desmoids, beta-Catenin protein is overexpressed in the nucleus and this leads to increased cell proliferation and survival

Other features of desmoid
• Rare: less than 4 new patients per million per year
• Patients tend to be young and women are affected twice as often as men
• Diagnosing desmoids is not always easy

Sarcomas
• Tumors that originates from connective tissue cells: muscle, fibroblasts, fat, cartilage, bone, smooth muscle, etc.
• Soft tissue sarcoma: 11,000 new cases/yr
• Bone sarcoma: 2,900 new case/yr
• (breast carcinoma 227,000/yr)

Sarcomas
• Given the rarity of sarcomas only few pathologists see most subtypes on a regular basis
• Role for specialized sarcoma centers (diagnosis AND treatment)

Diagnosis of desmoid tumors
• Histology: bland spindle cell lesion invading muscle and other normal tissues• Problem: can look like scar and other fibroblastic tumors
• Immunohistochemistry: mutations in either beta-Catenin or APC gene lead to increased nuclear beta-Catenin• Problem: same staining can be seen in other tumor and
the stain is often difficult to read
• Molecular studies: finding beta-Catenin or APC gene mutations is very good support

nuclear stain for beta-Catenin helps in many but not all cases

Complexity of desmoid tumors
Despite their histologically bland appearance, a significant subset of these tumors recurs aggressively and requires often debilitating surgery
Currently there are no molecular markers that predict the behavior of desmoid tumors
Previous work of Aimee Crago and Mushriq Al-Jazrawe/Ben Alman indicated:
variability in frequency of CTNNB1 mutations in desmoid tumors
heterogeneity in composition of desmoid tumors (tumor cells + normal fibroblasts)
Confirmed and further detailed by work of Joanna Przybyl
Desmoid tumors may be more complex than previously assumed
![Page 27: Desmoid-type fibromatosis/Desmoid tumor · Desmoid-type fibromatosis/Desmoid tumor-Locally aggressive, recurring, non-metastasizing tumor of connective tissue-Localization: extremities](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042803/5f466d7f4531ec30be5fa73d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Problem:
When a desmoid comes back, it is difficult to tell recurring desmoid
from the scar of the previous surgery
Preliminary studies
already identify possible
markers
Plan:
Extend these studies
and validate findings

Major questions in desmoids
• How to distinguish desmoids that need immediate surgery from those where one can “watch and wait”
• How to distinguish desmoids that will recur from those that won’t
• Develop better diagnostic markers for desmoids– Evaluate completeness of resection
– Distinguish scar from recurrent desmoid
