Abstract
Desmoid tumors or aggressive fibromatosis are monoclonal fibroblast proliferations. They are characterized by an invasive infiltrating capacity, a very high local recurrence rate but without metastatic potential. Imaging plays an essential role in diagnosis and therapeutic management is multidisciplinary. We report the case of a 60-year-old patient presenting with an abdominal mass of the left lateral wall gradually increasing in size and whose diagnosis of desmoid tumor of the abdominal wall was retained.
