Brief Summary

Desmoid fibromatoses are rare and locally aggressive mesenchymal tumors. The current scientific evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of the treatment of desmoid fibromatosis by arterial embolization is constituted by several retrospective and prospective studies. These studies report promising results through the use of chemoembolization, that is, arterial embolization using particles loaded with chemotherapy. Instead, the type of treatment we propose would consist of injection of embolizing material without the use of chemotherapy, based on the positive results we have consistently reported over the years on arterial embolization of musculoskeletal tumors.
