Case report: Desmoid fibromatosis diagnosed in a 27-year-old male after being mistaken for a gastrointestinal stromal tumour

Despite being distinct lesions, gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) and desmoid fibromatosis may appear similar on imaging when they involve the stomach wall or bowel. As a result, they may be confused with one another when initially diagnosed. This report aims to present a case where a desmoid...

description Despite being distinct lesions, gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) and desmoid fibromatosis may appear similar on imaging when they involve the stomach wall or bowel. As a result, they may be confused with one another when initially diagnosed. This report aims to present a case where a desmoid tumour was mistaken for a gastric GIST in a 27-year-old gentleman despite extensive investigation prior to exploratory laparotomy, and why differentiation through pathology, with a focus on the immunohistochemistry profile, is key for proper prognostication and appropriate management, including timely investigation for associated diseases such as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis in patients with desmoid tumours.
