[Desmoid tumor of the chest wall: a case report].
A 45-year-old man was referred to our hospital for recurrent desmoid tumor of the chest wall. He underwent chest wall resection with reconstruction of Marlex mesh. But we could not resect it enough widely, because the tumor invaded beside left subclavian artery and subclavian vein, brachioflexus. So he had additional radiation therapy (50 gry). The patient is now doing well without recurrence 1 year after the operation.
