Background
Desmoid tumour is a rare neoplasm occurring intra- and extra-abdominally.
Method
In this study, a lower extremity desmoid tumour located close to the ovaries was irradiated with tomotherapy after surgery in a 16-year-old female patient. 30 fractions defined for delivery of 54 Gy were administered to the patient.
Result
The planning target volume and organs at risk doses were evaluated and the ovary doses were discussed for fertility.
Conclusion
The patient tolerated the radiotherapy well. During radiotherapy, only grade 1 skin toxicity occurred.
