Desmoid tumours are rare lesions which has a strong tendency to invade locally and to recur. They constitute 3% of all soft tissue tumours and
0.03% of all neoplasms. These tumours are commonly seen in women of fertile age, especially during and after pregnancy. We report a case of thirty
year old female patient presenting with a painless mass in the anterior abdominal wall with past history of abdominal surgery 8 years back.
Ultrasonography revealed a solid, heterogenous hypoechoic lesion within abdominal wall. On Fine needle aspiration cytology of the mass, spindle
cell tumour suggestive of desmoid tumour was diagnosed. Wide local excision of the affected abdominal wall mass was performed and the defect
was replaced with a polypropylene mesh. The specimen was sent for histopathological examination where cytological diagnosis was conrmed as
desmoid tumour of anterior abdominal wall.
