MeSH Heading: Desmoid Tumors
Tree Number(s): C04.557.450.565.590.340.410
Unique ID: D018222
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018222
Annotation: coordinate with precoordinated organ/neoplasm term if specified
Scope Note: Locally aggressive tumors that form in the connective tissues of body with no known potential for metastasis. However, they are characterized by an infiltrative growth pattern, allowing invasion into nearby tissues and organs, particularly evident in patients with FAMILIAL ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS.
