Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumour in a 39-year-old man.
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a very rare neoplasm, that usually appears in children and young adolescents. There is no standard therapy, and responses to chemotherapy are infrequent. Surgery is still the main treatment for this disease. We report the case of a 39 year-old man and briefly summarize the evidence about this tumor.
