Clinicopathological analysis of three cases of breast desmoid-type fibromatosis.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBreast desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare, locally aggressive but non-metastatic mesenchymal tumor according to WHO classification, characterized by spindle cell proliferation with irregular infiltrative borders. Its morphological overlap with other spindle cell lesions necessitates careful differential diagnosis. It’s worth noting that multifocal breast desmoid-type fibromatosis has not been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: We present three breast desmoid-type fibromatosis cases diagnosed at Women and Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (Oct 2022-Sep 2024) in females aged 15–42 years (mean ± standard deviation: 31.3 3 ± 11.73 years; median 37 years). All patients were asymptomatic. A 37-year-old female who was diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) 5 years ago presented with multifocal lesions. One case co-occurred with low nuclear grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and fibroadenoma. Ultrasonography revealed circumscribed margins in two instances and ill-defined margins in one case. Surgical management included vacuum-assisted excision (two cases) and combined breast-conserving surgery for the carcinoma-associated case.
conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first report of multifocal breast desmoid-type fibromatosis and its co-occurrence with fibroadenoma and low nuclear grade DCIS. Through integrated clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular analyses supplemented by a systematic literature review, we delineate diagnostic criteria, therapeutic approaches, and prognostic indicators. These findings provide critical insights to reduce diagnostic errors and enhance precision in managing this challenging entity.
