Abstract
Desmoid tumors occur infrequently in patients who undergo proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis but may result in significant morbidity and mortality depending on the sight of desmoid location. A case of successful ileal pouch salvage using a multimodality approach for treatment of a large ileal pouch associated desmoid tumor is presented. This approach used neoadjuvant chemotherapy to induce a partial response, followed by complete surgical excision with pouch preservation. This is the first reported case of combined chemotherapy and surgical treatment of a desmoid tumor involving an ileal pouch, and the second reported successful attempt at surgical excision with pouch salvage.
