Can malignant transformation occur?
The spread of these benign but locally aggressive tumours to healthy tissue is precisely what makes their treatment so difficult. The number of recurrences depends on the meticulousness of the initial treatment, but recurrences can occur up to 40 years after a well-managed treatment.
For this reason, long-term radiological monitoring is essential, to ensure that the number of operations required is kept to a minimum.
