Preoperative computed tomography scan (CT, figure 1) and magnet-resonance-tomography (MRT, figure 2) revealed a left lower abdominal wall tumor of unknown dignity.
MRT shows the tumor's location embedded in the adjacent musculature. The hypointense parts of the tumor indicate the high mucoid proportion (arrow bar).

Tumor-cells had a pale eosinophilic cytoplasm and chromatin structures and were embedded in collagen network interrupted by fibrotic sections (Figure 3).
The desmoid tumor is macroscopically composed of a well-defined capsule infiltrated by a collagen network with fibrotic sections.
