Summary
Records for 13 patients operated on for desmoid tumours from 1997-2013 were searched for age, gender, abdominal/pelvic surgical history, pregnancy, Gardner's syndrome, pre-operative radiological examinations, tumour size, multifocality, surgical procedure, tumour presence at surgical margins, recurrence, morbidity, and mortality.  Recurrence was observed in three patients during follow-up. Increased tumour size, history of previous abdominal/pelvic surgery, and the presence of multifocality had a negative effect on local recurrence-free survival.
