Desmoid tumors are rare, less than 0,1% of all tumors (6,2%). The word desmoid has been reconized since 1838, and applied to non-encapsulated tumors, of connective origin and locally infiltrative. Generally, their course is painless and the recurrence rate is high if resection has not been complete. Most of these tumors can be found in different anatomic areas, most commonly the anterior abdominal wall although other sites, intra or extraabdominal, have been reported. We describe the case of 50 years old female patient, with abdominal pain caused by an intraabdominal desmoid tumor

A 46-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain, nausea vomiting and abdominal distention. Small bowel x-rays and CT scan of the abdomen revealed small bowel obstruction due to malignant melanoma. The diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma was performed 8 years prior to admission on one lesion in the back. Patient received surgical treatment. Completed resection of an involved jejunal [correction of ileal] segment was performed. Three tumor masses were found at laparotomy. Metastasis from malignant melanoma at the gastrointestinal tract occurs frequently though rarely are these intestinal lesions symptomatic. The efficacy of surgical treatment for symptomatic metastatic melanoma is justified to relief symptoms and prolonged survival.
