title: Desmoid tumor of the vulva associated with pregnancy.
abstract: Extra-abdominal desmoid tumor is a locally aggressive neoplasm that occurs most commonly in the pelvic or shoulder region in the third or fourth decade. We have identified one previously reported case of primary desmoid tumor of the vulva. Herein, we describe another case and, to our knowledge, the first reported case of vulvar desmoid tumor associated with pregnancy.
