Abstract
Desmoid tumors, also known as aggressive fibromatoses, are uncommon, slow-growing, locally aggressive soft tissue lesions. The abdominal wall is one of the most common sites of presentation, but it may be seen in the neck in rare cases. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of two desmoid tumor cases, one located in the neck and the other in the abdominal wall, and the value of MRI in the diagnosis is discussed. MRI is the first choice in the preoperative evaluation of neck desmoids due to its known superiority in showing the extent of a tumor and its contrast enhancement.
Özet
Agresifflbromatozlar olarak da bilinen desmoid tümörler ender rastlanan, yavaş büyüyen lokal olarak agresif yumuşak doku lezyonlandır. Abdominal duvar en sık rastlanan lokalizasyonlardan biridir. Ancak boyun tutulumu nadirdir. Biz burada biri abdominal duvarda diğeri ise boyunda yerleşik iki desmoid tümör vakasında saptanan MRG bulgularını ve MRG'nin tamdaki değerini tartıştık. Özellikle boyun desmoidlerinde MRG lezyonun uzanımını ve kontrast tutulumunu göstermedeki bilinen üstünlüğü nedeniyle preoperatif değerlendirmede ilk tercih haline gelmiştir..
