Desmoid (desmoid tumor) is a cytologically benign fibrous tumor that originates from musculoskeletal structures of the entire body [1]. The term „desmoid”, first introduced by Muller in 1838, derives from the Greek word desmos, which means tendinous [2]. The etiopathogenesis of desmoid is not fully understood, most reports of publications regarding its treatment are based on individual case reports. The prognosis is good, and healing is achieved mainly through surgical excision of the lesion. The aim of the paper is to present a case of a 33-year-old woman with diagnosed familial polyposis in the colon, who has been identified with mesenteric desmoid.

This paper presents a case of a 59-year old female patient with a desmoids tumor in a very rare location - in the thyroid gland. Due to marked local disease advancement and impossible radical surgical resection, the patient underwent chemotherapy. The treatment resulted in reduction of the tumor size while patient's condition was assessed as good, stable. Medical history and expanded diagnostic workup ruled out the possibility that this thyroid lesion was a part of familial adenomatous polyposis of the colon and Gardner's syndrome. It is highly probable that this desmoids tumor found in our patient was an isolated lesion, limited to the thyroid gland.

80%
EN
The authors present their experiences of handling three clinical cases of patients with a rare type of tumor - a desmoid tumor.The patients, aged between 23 and 45 years, 2 females and 1 male, were treated through surgery and underwent a reconstruction of abdominal wall by the colocative positioning of two meshes: a PTFE mesh and a polipropylene mesh. Good "mechanical" results of reconstruction were obtained without significant post-operative complications.As to date, no recurrence symptoms have been reported although a relatively short post-operative observation period may result inconclusive.
