Abstract:
A giant retroperitoneal desmoid (30 x 15 cm), in a 16-year old girl arising from psoas fascia is reported. Despite debulking surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy, anti-oestrogen agents and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, 3 years later she died from tumour invasion of major blood vessels and bowel, leading to massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
