We found recurrence is likely to occur with positive margins. Because standard treatment of DTs is surgical resection with negative margins, if technically feasible with reasonable associated morbidity, we suggest additional resection of the tumor to achieve negative margins. We also recommend more robust follow-up data collection, not only due to desmoid's high recurrence and data paucity in patients older than 12 years, but also, to better establish best management practices.
