title: Treatment of desmoid tumours in Gardner's syndrome.
abstract: A 24 year old woman with Gardner's syndrome developed a massive chest wall desmoid tumour, which required radical excision and prosthetic reconstruction. In view of the local aggressiveness of this tumour and the fact that it does not metastasize a policy of radical surgery when possible is recommended.
