Desmoid tumors are rare, less than 0.1% of all tumors (6.2%). The word desmoid has been recognized since 1838, and applied to non-encapsulated tumors, of connective origin and locally infiltrative. Generally, their course is painless and the recurrence rate is high if resection has not been complete. Most of these tumors can be found in different anatomic areas, most commonly the anterior abdominal wall although other sites, intra- or extra-abdominal, have been reported. We describe the case of a 50 year old female patient, with abdominal pain caused by an intraabdominal desmoid tumor.
