This is the first report of a desmoid tumor 19 years after radiation therapy for seminoma of the testis at the age of 40. It stresses the need to include the desmoid tumor in the differential diagnosis of an intra-abdominal tumor after treatment of testicular cancer as well as the possible radiation induction of desmoid tumor.
