Abstract
Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a soft tissue tumor characterized by infiltrative growth and a tendency toward local recurrence, while it exhibits self-limiting behavior and shows spontaneous regression. With its unpredictable behavior, a change in treatment strategies from initial surgery to nonsurgical management has been proposed, and active surveillance is currently widely chosen as the initial treatment strategy for DF. We reviewed the imaging features of DF regarding its clinical course, focusing on regression cases, postoperative cases, and imaging changes after systemic treatment.
