RESUMEN
El tumor desmoide es una forma infrecuente de fibromatosis de origen musculoaponeurótico extremadamente raro. En su mayoría, se localiza en abdomen y es muy raro en pared torácica. Dada su incapacidad para metastatizar se ha considerado benigno, sin embargo, su crecimiento local rápido y agresivo hace que el tratamiento quirúrgico sea igualmente agresivo y completo.Presentamos un caso de tumor desmoide de pared torácica intervenido en paciente de 40 años, de 1 año de evolución y crecimiento rápido y agresivo con deformidad de pared torácica.Realizamos exéresis del tumor y de 5 arcos costales parcialmente, más reconstrucción con material protésico y colgajo dermograso.La resolución quirúrgica de este tipo de tumores en etapas avanzadas requiere participación interdisciplinaria.

Desmoid tumor is an uncommon form of fibromatosis of extremely rare musculoaponeurotic origin. Most are located in the abdomen, and its location in the chest wall is very rare. Due to its inability to produce metastases it has been considered benign, however, its rapid and aggressive local growth makes the surgical treatment equally aggressive and complete.We present a case of a thoracic wall desmoid tumor in a 40-year-old patient, one year evolution, with rapid and aggressive growth which deforms the anatomy of the thoracic wall.Excision of the tumor and 5 partially costal arches were performed, with subsequent thoracic reconstruction with prosthetic material and dermo-fat flap.Desmoid tumors, in advanced stages, requires multidisciplinary participation.

BACKGROUND: Deep dermal and full-thickness burns are not only difficult to treat, but they are also associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Recent reports have proposed the use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for inducing tissue repair in burn injuries. OBJECTIVE: We aim to evaluate the effect of allogeneic MSC transplantation on full-thickness burns with delayed healing. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study includes five patients with AB B/B burns. All patients received conservative treatments, including cleaning, debridement of necrotic tissue, and silver based dressing on the burn wounds. Cryopreserved allogeneic MSCs were thawed and rapidly expanded and used for application in burned patients. MSCs were implanted into preclotted platelet-rich plasma onto the surface of burn wounds. RESULTS: All treated burn wounds showed early granulation tissue and rapid re-epithelialization after MSC transplantation. Healing took between 1 and 5 months after MSC transplantation. Repair of burn wounds was associated with slight discoloration of the regenerated skin without hypertrophic scarring or contractures. CONCLUSION: Our results provide evidence of healing in deep- and full-thickness burns by allogeneic MSC transplantation. Rapid healing of burn patients, after MSC transplantation, improves their quality of life and reduces the length of hospitalization. Future studies incorporating a larger number of patients may confirm the results obtained in this work.
