Abstract:
Desmoid tumors are extremely rare. They represent 3% of all soft tissue tumors. Giant desmoid tumors are rarely reported in the literature and are a challenge in their therapeutic management.
The radiological evaluation of extension allowed to delimit its extension in depth and its limits of exeresis. In our case, the tumor was surgically resected with simple postoperative care.
This case illustrates the difficulties of managing this entity given its large size.
