Prognostic factors for extra‐abdominal and abdominal wall desmoids: A 20‐year experience at a single institution

Abstract

Regardless of primary or recurrent disease, microscopically negative margins should always be the goal for extra-abdominal desmoids surgery, if no cosmetic defects or function demolition is encountered. Extra-abdominal desmoids deserve more attention and should be treated more aggressively, especially when leaving positive margins.
