title: Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small cell tumour--a case report.
abstract: Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small cell tumour is a rare malignant neoplasm of childhood. We report a case of this uncommon tumour in a 14-year-old boy. The tumour originated from transverse mesocolon. The case is notable because there was no pain and ascites on presentation and there was transmural infiltration of the transverse colon.
