Extra-abdominal desmoid defined as progressive, locally invasive lesions composed of uniform fibroblasts forming abundant collagen and arising within the skeletal muscle or its fascial covering.
It does not form regional or distant metastasis, but the rate of recurrence is high.
The basic principle of treatment of desmoids is adequate local excision and local persistence, even after multiple operative procedure, should be controlled by adequate local excision.
A extra-abdominal desmoid that appeared in the gastrocunemius and flexor hallucis longus muscles of the leg was reported.
