Abstract

  Desmoid tumors are benign neoplasms, but are often unresectable because of their aggressive and local infiltration, compression of surrounding structures and massive involvement of adjacent vital structures. Our aim is to increase awareness of this condition so that clinicians will consider diagnosing it. This will facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment. This is a case of a 43 year old woman with medical history of Berger`s disease, immunosuppressive therapy, a kidney transplant and sporadic mesenteric desmoid tumors appearing after solid organ transplantation. Eighteen months after the removal of the tumors, she was diagnosed with essential thrombocytosis. No evidences of recurrence after operation.
