Abstract
Desmoid fibromatosis (DFs) is rare, low-grade neoplasm. Although it poses no risk of metastasis, DFs exhibits a range of clinical manifestations characterized by local infiltrative growth tendencies and a propensity for recurrence. Despite its nonmalignant nature, DFs can be highly debilitating and occasionally life-threatening, causing severe pain and functional limitations. Traditionally, surgery served as the conventional primary treatment approach; nevertheless, a recent shift in paradigm towards a more conservative management has emerged, accompanied by efforts to standardize the strategy among clinicians. Systemic doxorubicin has been demonstrated to be effective in treating DFs; however, it carries potential risks of adverse effects on the cardiovascular, digestive, and hematologic systems. The novel intravascular intervention employing drug-eluting beads loaded with doxorubicin represents an effective treatment for DFs, optimizing drug delivery to the target lesion and reducing systemic toxicity. In this article, we present a rare case of DFs in the right pubic region treated with transarterial doxorubicin-eluting beads embolization.
