Zusammenfassung: | Desmoid tumors constitute 0.02% to 0.03% of all tumors. Consequently, few case reports exist for breast desmoids, even fewer identifying bilateral disease.

This case report explores the clinical, radiographic, pathologic, and treatment elements for desmoid tumors as well as a review of the literature. |
