डेस्मॉइड ट्यूमर (फायब्रोमॅटोसिस): डेस्मॉइड ट्यूमर ही शरीरात पसरत नाही अशी, पण आजूबाजूला वाढणारी गाठ आहे. अनेक वेळा लगेच शस्त्रक्रिया न करता निरीक्षण किंवा औषधोपचार अधिक चांगला ठरतो.
डेस्मॉइड ट्यूमर (फाइब्रोमेटोसिस): डेस्मॉइड ट्यूमर शरीर में फैलता नहीं, पर आसपास बढ़ता है। कई बार तुरंत सर्जरी के बजाय निगरानी या दवा बेहतर होती है।
Desmoid tumours (aggressive fibromatosis) are rare growths of fibrous tissue. They do not spread to other organs, but they can grow into nearby muscles and organs. They are commoner in young women, sometimes after pregnancy or surgery.
Symptoms
A firm, slowly growing lump in the abdominal wall, limb, shoulder or inside the abdomen; pain or restricted movement.
Management has changed
Surgery is no longer the automatic first step – these tumours often come back after surgery, and some stop growing or shrink on their own. Current treatment includes: - Active surveillance with periodic MRI - Medical therapy: anti-inflammatory drugs, hormonal therapy, low-dose chemotherapy or targeted tablets - Surgery or radiation for selected cases
Every case is reviewed in our rare tumour board.
