Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare, highly malignant neoplasm originating from mesenchymal tissue which was initially described in 1 1991 by Gerald and Rosai. It is composed of small round tumor cells of uncertain histogenesis associated with prominent stromal desmoplasia and 2 polyphenotypic differentiation. It typically occurs in adolescents and young adults. Usually presents with widespread abdominal, serosal, and mesenteric involvement with poor prognosis.

Abstract Objective Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare intraabdominal neoplasm that grows along serosal surfaces and is primarily found in young men. To date, only 16 cases of ovarian DSRCT have been previously reported in women in the English literature, and no large population-based studies on this topic exist. Case Report We report the case of a 19-year-old virgo with unremarkable past medical history, initially presented with abdominal fullness. After being treated with the optimal treatment modality (primary and secondary surgical debulking, unique chemotherapy, protocol and adjuvant radiotherapy), the patient has remained without tumor disease for 40 months. Conclusion Although the best therapy for patients with DSRCT has yet to be determined, combining complete surgical resection, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiotherapy is required to prolong survival and to achieve proper quality of life.

ABSTRACT Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare malignant neoplasm. It is primarily found in young men, with a reported male to female ratio of 4:1. The tumor typically develops in the abdominal cavity, invading the omentum with multiple peritoneal implants involving the diaphragm, splenic hilum, mesentery of the small and large bowel, and the pelvic peritoneum. Most of them have widespread disease at presentation, with an organ of origin difficult to ascertain. We report a case of desmoplastic round cell tumor in a 17-year-old teenage girl. Immunohistochemistry helped in the diagnosis. She received multimodality treatment. How to cite this article Nandini G, Harish K, Swamy ACV, Subramanian M, Padma K.
