Sumario:Giant desmoid tumor has been rarely reported in the literature but it is a therapeutic challenge. We here report a case of tumor manifesting as painful abdominal mass causing a major esthetic problem. Radiological assessment allowed to determine its depth extension and limits of resection. Desmoid tumor of the abdominal wall was evoked and surgically resected, with simple outcome. This study highlights challenges in the management of this entity,due to its large size.
