PurposeDesmoid tumor (DT) is a rare myofibroblastic proliferative neoplasm, but can occur in up to 26% of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Therefore, DT may be an extraintestinal manifestation of FAP that precedes the development of advanced malignancies. The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of polyps in DT patients and investigate value of colonoscopy for diagnosis of FAP in DT patients without gastrointestinal symptoms.
