✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

Intraabdominal desmoplastic small cell tumor is a rare malignancy that has only recently been described. In the adult population, it is usually seen in young males. The tumor appears to arise as a dominant mass or masses in the abdominal cavity, particularly in the pelvic region, without a clear visceral origin. Multiple small tumor nodules may be found attached to the peritoneal surface. Visceral metastases occur late in the clinical course, ultimately leading to the patient's death. Five young adults with intraabdominal desmoplastic small cell tumors were treated with aggressive chemotherapy.
