- Hence, patients remain asymptomatic initially for a long time period
- Symptoms of demoid tumor vary greatly depending on following characteristics:
- Size
- Location
- Spread of the tumor
- However, common symptoms include:[1]
- Deeply seated painless or minimally painful mass/swelling/lump
- Intraabdominal desmoids can present with any of the following:
- Abdominal mass
- Abdominal pain
- Intestinal obstruction (causing constipation and other associated symptoms)
- Bowel ischemia
- Functional deterioration in an ileoanal anastomosis (typically in a patient who has undergone colectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis [FAP])
- Pain or soreness caused by compressed nerves or muscles
- Limping or other difficulty using the legs, feet, arms or hands or other affected part of the body
