Abstract excerpt
Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a locally aggressive but non-metastatic (myo)fibroblastic neoplasm. A hallmark of the tumor is nuclear positivity for beta-catenin in immunohistochemistry due mostly to CTNNB1 mutations. However, a recent study has reported that even beta-catenin 'nuclear-negative' DFs can harbor CTNNB1 mutations and that the positive ratio of nuclear beta-catenin in DF is different among...
