腹外硬纤维瘤病变,也称为侵袭性纤维瘤病,是一种生长缓慢的良性病变,在临床实践中可能会遇到。最近的争议存在关于他们的最佳治疗。考虑到它们的良性性质,是否有必要进行大规模的减瘤手术,或者是否值得为一种不寻常地违背普通教学并对此类药物有反应的疾病过程进行化疗?我们提出了一个文献综述这种特殊的病理讨论的病因,临床表现,和各种目前的争议,在治疗方案。
Extra-abdominal desmoid lesions, otherwise known as aggressive fibromatosis, are slow-growing benign lesions which may be encountered in clinical practice. Recent controversies exist regarding their optimal treatment. Given their benign nature, is major debulking surgery justified, or is it worth administering chemotherapy for a disease process which unusually defies common teaching and responds to such medications? We present a literature review of this particular pathology discussing the aetiology, clinical presentation, and various current controversies in the treatment options.
