title: Mesenteric desmoid tumor presenting as an abdominal mass following salvage cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer.
abstract: The development of an abdominal mass after radical extirpative surgery for cancer is ominous and most frequently represents a recurrence of the original cancer. We present an unusual case of a large mesenteric desmoid tumor that occurred 3 years after salvage cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer.
