Pathology: desmoid fibromatosis
Desmoid fibromatosis
Infiltrative; long sweeping fascicles of spindle-stellate cells
Eosinophilic cytoplasm with long tapering processes
Ovoid nuclei with pinpoint nucleoli; occasional mitotic activity
Abundant collagenous matrix with prominent small vessels with perivascular oedema
DNA-seq: CTNNB1 mutation (c.121A>G; p.T41A)
Desmoid fibromatosis
Lobulated; spindle-stellate cells with vague fascicular pattern
Eosinophilic cytoplasm with long bipolar processes
Ovoid and elongated wavy nuclei with pinpoint nucleoli; occasional mitotic activity
Abundant collagenous matrix, including "keloid-like" collagen
Delicate thin-walled vasculature
