RARE PRESENTATION OF RECURRENT DESMOID TUMOR WITH INTRA-ABDOMINAL EXTENSION FOLLOWING ABDOMINOPLASTY

Introduction:Body musculoaponeurotic structures are the source of fibrous neoplasms known as desmoid tumors. Desmoid tumors of the abdominal wall are uncommon, although they have a high chance of recurrence and can be aggressive locally. In young, fertile women, these tumors are more prevalent. In many cases, they happen during or after pregnancy. Body musculoaponeurotic structures are the source of fibrous neoplasms known as desmoid tumors.

Aims and Objectives: The studys goals were to investigate the uncommon co-occurrence of pathology or illness.

Materials and Methods: We report the case of a postmenopausal woman, age 63, who had an anterior abdominal wall desmoid tumor. Her family background was unrelated. After being removed and biopsied during abdominoplasty, an accidental growth was found to be a desmoid tumor with free margins. The patient complained of vague stomach pain and a heaviness one year later. The scar from the previous abdominoplasty was cut to preserve the attractive result. A recurring desmoid tumor was identified after a big mass that originated from the abdominal wall and extended intra-abdominally was removed.
