How do desmoid tumors affect my body?

While most desmoid tumors don’t impact your overall lifespan, they can still be painful and difficult to treat. Abdominal desmoid tumors may interfere with organ function and cause internal bleeding. In very rare instances, desmoid tumors can be life-limiting.

Desmoid tumors are also unpredictable. While some grow rapidly, others may shrink and go away on their own.
