Abstract
Desmoid tumours are slow-growing tumours derived from musculo-aponeurotic tissue. Desmoid tumours are considered among the rarest of the soft tissue neoplasms and histologically benign with no metastatic potential but locally aggressive. They are known for recurrences. Here we are presenting a case of 30yr old female who presented with a recurrent swelling over abdomen and pain with decreased appetite. She was diagnosed to have extra-peritoneal desmoid tumour over anterior abdominal wall managed by radical resection with mesh repair. Patient recovered well and is on follow up since 3 years.
Keywords: Desmoids tumours, desmoid, extra-peritoneal tumour, extra-peritoneal swelling
