How are desmoid tumors diagnosed?

Your healthcare provider will perform a physical examination and ask you about your symptoms. If they suspect that you have a desmoid tumor, they may recommend imaging tests — such as a CT scan or MRI — to determine how much the mass has grown. They may also perform a biopsy. During this procedure, a tissue sample is removed and sent to a pathology lab for further analysis.
