Time trends Rising incidence (2.5 fold) Different diagnosis or better diagnostic tools? True rise: Etiological factors? Rising incidence Observed in all age groups, proportionally highest in older age Particularly in trunk desmoids Work-up and treatment Frequency pre-treatment biopsy >> Non-surgical treatment >>
