- Desmoid fibromatoses are rare locally aggressive tumors with no known potential for metastasis, that can develop at virtually any body site. - Surgical resection may be offered in selected cases, however recurrences following surgery are high, and tend to be more aggressive than the primary tumor. - Non-surgical options includes observation, medical management and radiotherapy - Imaging plays a critical role in the initial assessment, treatment planning, monitoring of response to treatment and detection of complications.  

- Illustration of common and uncommon imaging appearances of desmoid tumors at various locations ( abdominal, extraabdominal, extremity, head and neck), and in various settings ( FAP assosciated, preganacy assosciated, post traumatic, and sporadic) - Review the role of imaging in treatment planning, surgical decision making, and assessment of resectability - Discuss the gamut of non-surgical treatment options , including observation, chemotherapy (Doxil), hormonal therapy(tamoxifen), molecular targeted therapy(Imantinb, sorafenib) and radiation therapy - Describe the patterns of tumor response on different imaging modalities (CT, MRI and PET), with particular emphasis on MRI. - Illustrate the common complications of desmoid tumors, both on and off therapy.
