Intrathoracic Giant Desmoid Tumor: A Case Report

Objective & Hypothesis:Desmoid tumors are uncommon, histologically benign tumors, originating in the facial and musculoaponeurotic tissues; however, they are locally aggressive.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Here we present the case of a 66-years-old male patient who was admitted with the shortness of breath and back pain in the past 4 months, and we learned that he had bypass surgery in 2010, and a lesion mass was found in the left lung in the chest X-ray.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:In this case, the patient had no complications and recurrence in the postoperative period.

Özet

Desmoid tumors are uncommon, histologically benign tumors, originating in the facial and musculoaponeurotic tissues; however, they are locally aggressive. They are frequently observed in the abdominal zone. Nevertheless, it is rare in the chest wall. The most efficient and outstanding treatment is surgery. Here we present the case of a 66-years-old male patient who was admitted with the shortness of breath and back pain in the past 4 months, and we learned that he had bypass surgery in 2010, and a lesion mass was found in the left lung in the chest X-ray. This lesion was detected in the upper lobe of the left lung, which was 135×98×74 mm in size at the thoracic computed tomography. A left thoracotomic incision was performed, and a 25×15×6 cm (1195 gr) mass was removed. In this case, the patient had no complications and recurrence in the postoperative period.
