摘要

Desmoid tumor of the chest wall are uncommon fibromatous tumors characterized by their local invasion and frequent recurrences. Extra-abdominal sites are mainly the shoulder girdle, the pelvic girdle and distal ends of the lower limbs. The chest wall represents 8-10% of cases and the tumor is exceptionally intrathoracic. We present here a rare case of a large desmoid tumor of left antero-lateral chest wall. In the presented case, wide excision of the tumor and chest wall reconstruction was done. There was no recurrence in 3 years of follow up.
