title: [Aggressive fibromatosis of the penis (desmoid tumor)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe an additional case of desmoid tumor of the penis. The incidence, etiopathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this condition are discussed.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 70-year-old male consulted at the emergency services for pain and urinary symptoms. Physical examination showed no regional lymphadenopathy. Patient assessment by ultrasound and CT disclosed a penile lesion. Treatment was by wide local excision.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Control evaluation at 3, 6 and 12 months showed normal findings and the patient remains asymptomatic.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Wide local excision is advocated as the treatment of choice for desmoid tumor of the penis.
