A rare intra-abdominal desmoplastic small cell tumour (DSCT) was found in a 14-year-old boy. This uncommon childhood cancer presented without pain or ascites, showing transmural infiltration of the colon.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Abdominal Neoplasms

Background:

  • Desmoplastic small cell tumour (DSCT) is a rare, aggressive malignancy primarily affecting young males.
  • Intra-abdominal presentation is common, often involving the peritoneum.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to nonspecific symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old male presented with an intra-abdominal mass.
  • The tumour originated from the transverse mesocolon.
  • Notably, the patient lacked typical symptoms such as abdominal pain and ascites.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed desmoplastic small cell tumour.
  • The tumour demonstrated transmural infiltration of the adjacent transverse colon.

  • This case highlights an unusual presentation of a rare pediatric neoplasm.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the clinical spectrum of desmoplastic small cell tumour presentations.
    • Early recognition of atypical presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • Further research into the behavior and management of intra-abdominal DSCT is warranted.
