What is the etiology and pathology of abdominal wall desmoid tumor?

The mechanism of abdominal wall injury leading to the occurrence of desmoid tumor is unclear, which may be related to muscle fiber destruction, local hemorrhage, abnormal hyperplasia in the process of hematoma repair, and some scholars believe that it is related to the autoimmune reaction caused by muscle fiber destruction. But the injury factors can not explain the causes of abdominal wall desmoid tumor in male patients, patients without pregnancy and childbirth, patients with no history of surgery or trauma.

(1) Operation: the operation directly cut off the abdominal wall muscle or separated the traction, resulting in muscle laceration and bleeding（ 2) Blunt abdominal trauma: muscle fiber damage, local bleeding or hematoma formation（ 3) Pregnancy: chronic injury of abdominal wall can be caused by long-term excessive traction of abdominal muscle. Continuous and severe contraction of abdominal muscle during delivery can cause damage, rupture and bleeding between muscle fibers.

(1) The disease is more common in 18-36 years old women, often in a few years after childbirth, postmenopausal patients less（ 2) After ovariectomy or menopause, the tumor gradually subsides（ 3) A few cases were treated with estrogen receptor antagonists (such as tamoxifen).
