Surprising finding of desmoid in a young man by an urologist

We present a case report of a 26-year-old patient with an incidental finding of intra-abdominal fibromatosis (desmoid) in the small pelvis who presented to the urology outpatient clinic for erectile dysfunction. Ultrasound examination revealed hydronephrosis of the right kidney with parenchymal reduction, and a bulky tumor was detected in the small pelvis, which was compressing the right-sided ureter. The patient was followed up with a CT scan which confirmed a solid tumour in the small pelvis of unclear origin, the nature of the tumour and the treatment were discussed by the multidisciplinary team and a decision was made to resect the tumour. Pathologist confirmed sporadic variant of desmoid. Desmoid tumors are characterized by both locally aggressive carcinomas mimicking growth and frequent recurrences after resection, which may require subsequent oncological treatment. For these reasons, patients with desmoids should be fol-lowed up by an oncologist, ideally at centers experienced in treating this rare disease.

Abstract

We present a case report of a 26-year-old patient with an incidental finding of intra-abdominal fibromatosis (desmoid) in the small pelvis who presented to the urology outpatient clinic for erectile dysfunction. Ultrasound examination revealed hydronephrosis of the right kidney with parenchymal reduction, and a bulky tumor was detected in the small pelvis, which was compressing the right-sided ureter. The patient was followed up with a CT scan which confirmed a solid tumour in the small pelvis of unclear origin, the nature of the tumour and the treatment were discussed by the multidisciplinary team and a decision was made to resect the tumour. Pathologist confirmed sporadic variant of desmoid. Desmoid tumors are characterized by both locally aggressive carcinomas mimicking growth and frequent recurrences after resection, which may require subsequent oncological treatment. For these reasons, patients with desmoids should be fol-lowed up by an oncologist, ideally at centers experienced in treating this rare disease.
