Abstract
A desmoid tumor is characterized by benign fibrous breeding and develops from connective tissue of skeletal muscle, fascia, and aponeurosis.
In addition, the tumor tends to infiltrate locally and extensively and the tumor spreads between the muscles and on the fascia.
There is overwhelmingly predominance in women epidemiologically.
It commonly occurs in the exterior abdominal wall and the abdominal cavity with the abdominal wall. Cervical desmoid tumor is rare.
We encountered a case of cervical desmoid tumor which caused a recurrence 6 years after the initial treatment. We investigated recurrence factors and discussed the treatment regimens in previous literature.
