Desmoid tumors or aggressive fibromatosis are recurrent but non-metastatic fibrous infiltrative proliferations. They are close to low grade fibrosarcoma. They are rare tumors since they present less than 0.03% of all neoplasias. Surgical treatment remains the treatment of reference but local relapses occur in one third of cases within five years, depending on the location, age and the possibility of a satisfactory resection. Complementary radiotherapy reduces this risk. We report a case of a recurrent desmoid tumor in the right gluteal region with intra-abdominal extension in a 40-year-old patient.
