Desmoid tumors are noncancerous growths that occur in the connective tissue. Desmoid tumors most often occur in the abdomen, arms and legs. Another term for desmoid tumors is aggressive fibromatosis. Some desmoid tumors are slow growing and don't require immediate treatment.
Desmoid tumors are a type of soft-tissue tumor that come from fibrous tissue. They are related to connective tissue cancers called sarcomas, but desmoid tumors are not cancer because they do not spread to other parts of the body.
Therefore, DF has now been classified as “intermediate, locally aggressive” tumor in the WHO classification of soft tissue tumors. In the past, DF was typically managed with surgical resection.
Desmoid tumors (DTs), or aggressive fibromatosis, are classified as benign tumors because of their lack of metastatic potential and low risk of mortality. The term benign is deceptive, though, because it fails to highlight the impact of the tumor on morbidity as a result of its locally infiltrative nature.
Most desmoid tumors are associated with a mutation of the CTNNB1 gene, and many of these appear during or after pregnancy. Some desmoid tumors are linked to previous injuries. In rare instances, desmoid tumors are associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a genetic condition that's linked to colon cancer.
(DEZ-moyd … FY-broh-muh-TOH-sis) A type of soft tissue tumor that forms in fibrous (connective) tissue, usually in the arms, legs, or abdomen. It may also occur in the head and neck. Desmoid-type fibromatoses are usually benign (not cancer).
Desmoid tumors are also known as aggressive fibromatosis or desmoid-type fibromatosis. A desmoid tumor can occur anywhere in the body since connective tissue is found everywhere in your body. Desmoid tumors are often found in the abdomen, as well as the shoulders, upper arms, and thighs.
A sarcoma is a malignant tumor, a type of cancer that arises from transformed cells of mesenchymal (connective tissue) origin. Connective tissue is a broad term that includes bone, cartilage, fat, vascular, or hematopoietic tissues, and sarcomas can arise in any of these types of tissues.
Treatments for desmoid tumors include:Monitoring the growth of the tumor. If your desmoid tumor causes no signs or symptoms, your doctor may recommend monitoring the tumor to see if it grows. ... Surgery. ... Radiation therapy. ... Chemotherapy and other medications.
Desmoid tumors are rare. They're also rarely fatal. According to a retrospective review published in the American Society of Clinical Oncology, 96 percent of people with desmoid tumors are alive 5 years after diagnosis, 92 percent after 10 years, and 87 percent after 15 years.
Inheritance. Most desmoid tumors are sporadic and are not inherited. Sporadic tumors result from gene mutations that occur during a person's lifetime, called somatic mutations. A somatic mutation in one copy of the gene is sufficient to cause the disorder.
Therefore, while these tumors are locally aggressive, metastases are rare. Desmoid tumors have been characterized extensively on multiple imaging modalities. Typical appearance of the abdominal desmoid tumor on CT is that of a well-circumscribed, solid, soft-tissue mass without calcification.
Right now, desmoid tumors fall under an ICD-10 code that covers a wide variety of connective and soft tissue tumors of “uncertain behavior”. Specifically, “D48.1 – neoplasm of uncertain behavior of connective and other soft tissue.” This code encompasses dozens of different tumors.
From a research perspective, not having a desmoid-specific code has prevented understanding of the true prevalence and incidence of desmoid tumors and makes it difficult to identify desmoid tumor cases in nationwide population databases during research. This obtuse code can also sometimes impact health insurance coverage of certain treatments and does not identify the bodily location of tumors, an important factor in approaching treatment.
They will begin to understand that that treatment is common for desmoid tumors and will hopefully start accepting those claims without the need for as many appeals or supporting documentation. DTRF will also launch a campaign to educate insurance companies to the new code, including common treatments for desmoid tumors that go along with the new code.
Initially, no. The addition of the code more accurately defines desmoid tumors, but it is will still be a subcategory under the currently used code D48.1. Because it will be a subcategory, insurance companies will likely not treat this any different than they do D48.1 to begin with.

Desmoid tumor is also known as adult rhabdomyoma, aggressive angiomyxoma, ancient neurilemmoma, benign lipomatous tumor, benign neoplasm autonomic nervous system of pelvis, benign tumor of mesothelial tissue, benign tumor of spinal nerve and sheath, giant cell storiform collagenoma, glandular neurilemmoma, granular cell tumor, giant cell storiform collagenoma, glandular neurilemmoma, granular cell tumor, perineurioma, periungual fibroma, and periungual fibroma in tuberous sclerosis..
Demoid tumors are a growth that originates from connective tissue. These tumors can be malignant or benign and usually do not spread. Patients typically show no symptoms and the tumors are found on accident.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes. It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as D48.1. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code D48.1 and a single ICD9 code, 238.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

A complication that’s often associated with abdominal desmoid tumors is intestinal obstruction, which is a medical emergency. When this occurs, you may experience symptoms like:
Another complication that can happen is ureter obstruction, which is when the tubes leading from your kidneys to your bladder become blocked. This can potentially lead to kidney damage and can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and possibly decreased urine volume.
The main approach to treating an abdominal desmoid tumor is surgery. The goal is to remove as much of the tumor as is safely possible. Following surgery, the affected part of the abdominal wall may need to be reconstructed, often using a prosthetic mesh.
If surgery is not an option, abdominal desmoid tumors can also be treated medically. These types of treatments can include:
