ABSTRACT
Background: Desmoid tumors are rare, monoclonal, soft tissue neoplasms arising
from mesenchymal stem cells. They are locally aggressive tumors, reaching large sizes
and with a high recurrence rate if excision is not complete.
Clinical case: 63-year-old female patient consulted due to the appearance of a
vulvar tumor of about 20 cm in diameter that had grown slowly and progressively. The
tumor reached the left labia majora and labia minora, the mons pubis, the perineal
and left inguinal regions. Ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance and biopsy studies
were performed. The initial biopsy concluded that it was a desmoid tumor, so it was
decided to perform excision with wide safety margins. V-Y advancement flaps were
used to close the large defect. The pathological anatomy of the specimen confirmed
that it was a benign mesenchymal tumor, compatible with leiomyoma. The evolution
of the patient has been very satisfactory.
Conclusions: As in many diseases, the anatomopathological diagnosis is decisive,
especially in the case of tumors that share morphological characteristics in order not to
hinder the diagnostic and therapeutic orientation. Complete excision with wide margins
as definitive treatment and to avoid recurrences is fundamental.
