(a) Low magnification showing a fibrous proliferation involving smooth muscle layer of colonic bowel (hematoxylin and eosin; magnification ×60). (b) Higher magnification showing intersecting fascicles composed of bland-looking spindle-shaped cells (hematoxylin and eosin; magnification ×100). These morphological features are consistent with desmoid-type fibromatosis.
