Recurrent Desmoid Tumor of the Buttock in a Preadolescent Child

This is in reference to our article published before [1]. On 1 year follow up, the patient had local recurrence measuring 8 cm X 5 cm infero-laterally to the previous scar. MRI of the local region showed a large well defined heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue mass in subcutaneous layers involving ilio-tabial tract with areas of deep multiple recurrences (Fig. 1). There was no evidence of metastasis. Local excision was done. Histopathology was identical as beforethe desmoid tumor. The surgical margins were free; the mass was surrounded with fibrocollagenous tissue. Keeping in view the unresectable deep recurrences, he was administered radiotherapy locally. MRI done after 6 weeks of radiotherapy did not show any residual disease. The child is under close follow up.
