Abstract

We present a rare case of Desmoid tumor of anterior abdominal wall in an operated case of multiple ileal perforation. Desmoid tumor is a rare tumor caused by proliferation of fibroblastic cells. It may arise from fascia and aponeurosis of muscle. There is a strong relationship of the tumor with previous trauma such as surgery and Gardner syndrome. Desmoid tumor is unusual, but it should be considered as a differential diagnosis in certain clinical presentations. Histopathology is diagnostic and wide excision is a treatment of choice.

Keywords: Desmoid tumor, Post-operative scar.
