Summary

The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to review urological complication rates arising from familial adenomatous polyposis associated desmoid tumours and their management. Clinicians should actively survey the renal tract at regular intervals after a diagnosis of an intra-abdominal desmoid tumour as complications can arise insidiously, at any stage.
