    AbstractDesmoid tumors most commonly occur in the anterior abdominal wall in approximately 50% of cases and are locally aggressive. We describe a case of a 38-year-old lady who was investigated as a case of gastrointestinal tumor. Post-operative immunohistochemistry staining showed the presence of a synchronous desmoid in the abdominal wall and proximal ileum. Wide local excision remains the gold-standard of treatment with pharmacotherapeutics and radiotherapy serving as adjuvant or palliative treatment options.
