Sequential treatment of recurrent mesenteric desmoid tumor

The optimal management of inoperable desmoid tumors is still unclear. We report a 26 year‐old female patient with familial adenomatous polyposis suffering from a recurrent inoperable intraabdominal desmoid tumor and its sequential treatment.
