In a young woman of reproductive age, the histopathological findings from fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the abdominal wall revealed a desmoid tumour. Indicate the best treatment option:

- B. observation and re-examination.
- C. resection confined to the tumour.
- D. taking a tissue specimen during open incisional biopsy.
- E. tumour resection along with a narrow margin of healthy tissue.
Hint
Desmoids do not metastasise but infiltrate locally and recur; think about the margin a surgeon aims for to prevent recurrence.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
