Introduction.

Desmoid tumors are soft tissue lesions, histologically benign, rare and with great local aggressiveness and lack of metastatic potential. They are closely related to traumatic or surgical history such as caesarean section. Their treatment is generally surgical.

Methods.

We present a case series of three patients operated on in our center during the year 2020. Their history is reviewed and their type of treatment is presented.

Results.

In all our patients, surgical history was found (two caesarean sections and one resection of a dysgerminoma). The treatment used was surgical resection with free margins and mesh repair of the defect.

Conclusions.

Desmoid tumor is a rare pathology; its diagnosis is made by imaging studies, and confirmed by histology. It is important to make a differential diagnosis with sarcoma. Radical surgery remains the treatment of choice, although some authors propose conservative treatment.
