CASE RECORD · Desmoid-type fibromatosis · 12
Wu Dandan, 12, from Hebei, was diagnosed with a left gluteal fibrous tumor after persistent buttock pain, fever and diarrhea in October 2023. Previous treatment included chemotherapy and targeted therapy. A March measurement was 8.2 × 4.7 × 12.9 cm. Her parents sought further care in April because of concerns about surgery.
The family reported relief of fever and diarrhea after two months and felt that the mass was smaller later. The September measurement was 9.0 × 5.8 × 12 cm. Since two dimensions increased and one decreased, these figures do not support a simple claim of overall shrinkage.
