Mesenteric desmoid tumor: De novo occurrence or recurrence following appendectomy?

Desmoid type fibromatosis (DF) is a rare, locally aggressive but benign proliferation of fibrous tissue which produces a fibroblastic mass that can cause a wide range of symptoms secondary to mass effect. When resected, these masses most commonly recur in the first 2 years. We present a case of a 33...
