  • Title: Desmoid tumour compressing vital pelvic structures. A case report.
    Author: Harjola PT, Ketonen P, Luosto R.
    Journal: Ann Chir Gynaecol; 1977; 66(4):203-5. PubMed ID: 907313.
    Abstract:
    A case of a desmoid tumor is presented. The tumour was initially found in an appendectomy scar. Excision of the tumour was not radical enough and it recurred. During the second operation, a tumour weighing 940 g was excised. A segment of the right ureter and right iliac vessels were also resected and reconstructed. Recovery was uneventful. Moderate swelling due to lymphoedema in the right lower extremity persisted after the second operation. There has been no recurrence after the second operation eight years ago.
