Abstract
Desmoid tumors are slow growing deep fibromatoses with aggressive infiltration of adjacent tissue but without any metastatic potential.We report on two female patients with desmoid tumor of the abdominal wall who underwent primary resection and proline mesh repair. Bothpatients had a history of an earlier abdominal surgery. Preoperative evaluation included abdominal ultrasound,and computed tomography. The histology in both cases revealed a desmoid tumor.Complete surgical resection and proline mesh repair is the first line management of this tumor entity.
