Desmoid tumours are rare, poorly circumscribed tumours that have a firm consistency and, although benign, have a remarkable tendency to infiltrate into surrounding structures. Extra-abdominal desmoid tumours involve mainly the extremities or the chest wall and are usually managed by wide radical resection. Moreover, desmoid tumours involving the chest wall are locally aggressive tumours with a high recurrence rate. We report a case of a pathologically proven desmoid tumour of the chest wall in a patient with a history of bilateral breast cancer and oesophageal cancer. We discuss the imaging appearances of this tumour on positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging.
腹壁外的硬纤维瘤主要累及四肢或胸壁,通常通过广泛的根治性切除术进行治疗。此外,累及胸壁的硬纤维瘤是一种局部侵袭性肿瘤,复发率较高。我们报告了一例有双侧乳腺癌和食管癌病史的患者的胸壁硬纤维瘤的病理证实病例。我们讨论了正电子发射断层扫描结合计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)和磁共振成像上该肿瘤的影像学表现。
