Axial magnetic resonance images of desmoid-type fibromatosis in the left axillary region. A: T1-Weighted sequence shows that the mass has intermediate signal intensity. B: T2-Weighted sequence shows that the mass has heterogenous high signal intensity. C: Contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted sequence shows intense and homogenous enhancement of the mass.

A: Positron-emission tomography (PET) image demonstrates focal 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the left axillary region. B: Axial computed tomography (CT) shows a homogenous low-attenuating mass (arrows). C: Integrated PET/CT image shows moderate focal FDG uptake in the deep soft tissue mass. The maximal standardized uptake value is 4.85.

Histological and immunohistochemical findings of desmoid-type fibromatosis. A: The tumor is composed of elongated, slender, spindle-shaped cells forming fascicular pattern in a collagenous stroma (hematoxylin and eosin staining, original magnification ×40). The tumor cells are positive for β-catenin (B) and smooth muscle actin (C), and focally positive for desmin (D) (B, C, and D, original magnification ×100).
