• In progressing desmoid fibromatosis, the mean average monthly growth ratio was 10.9 ± 9.2%. • Lesions with muscle/tumor T2 signal ratios lower than 1 tended to be stable or regress over time. • Given the interobserver measurement variability and MRI in-plane spatial resolution, a variation higher than 42.6% in tumor volume is required to confirm punctual progression.
