Desmoplastic small round cell tumor of the abdomen: A case report and literature review of therapeutic options

摘要

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare and highly aggressive variety of sarcoma arising typically from abdominal or pelvic peritoneum. Diagnosis and treatment approaches of this entity are complex and require a skilled, experienced, multidisciplinary team. Authors report their experience with a case of an intraabdominal DSRCT arising in a 37-year-old young man in order to discuss the clinico-pathological and radiological behavior of this tumor and underline diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.
