title: Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round-cell tumor: a rare cause of peritoneal malignancy in young people.
abstract: We report the CT and pathological findings of an intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round-cell tumor in a young man. Computed tomography showed an extensive peritoneal and mesenteric disease with gross bulky masses, direct liver invasion, and lymph node involvement. This entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a young male patient presenting with features of widespread peritoneal malignant disease.
