[Desmoid fibroma of the abdominal wall. Apropos of a case]

A case of desmoid fibroma of anterior abdominal wall, an exceptional benign tumor, is reported. Based on results of CT scan imaging of this lesion, differential diagnosis of other expansive processes of abdominal wall are discussed. This benign tumor is a potentially serious lesion due to its infiltrating character and the high incidence of recurrence. The need for total surgical excision is emphasized.
