[Low back pain as a manifestation of an intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor].
The desmoplastic small round cell tumor is infrequent.That mainly affects male youngsters and is normally located at the abdomino-pelvic cavity, being its clinic unspecific. The diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of a specific chromosomal translocation: t (11; 22), (p13; q12). As to its treatment, it is mostly recommended to follow a multimodal aggressive one. We present the case of a man, whose atypicality is due to his advanced age (63 years old) and the symptoms he presents (lumbar ache).
