KROK 1 2011 – Question 200 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
Examination of the anterior abdominal wall of a pregnant woman revealed a tumour-like formation that arose on the spot of a tumour that was removed two years ago. The neoplasm was well-defined, dense, 2x1 cm large. Histological examination revealed that the tumour was composed of differentiated connective tissue with prevailing collagen fibres. What tumour might be suspected?
- A. Hibernoma
- B. Leiomyoma
- C. Desmoid
- D. Lipoma
- E. Fibrosarcoma
Hint
Combine the anterior abdominal wall site, the recurrence after excision, the link with pregnancy and the mature collagen-rich histology; ask which tissue the tumour derives from and how it behaves.
