Desmoid tumors are rare lesions with a local invasive potential and a risk of recurrence considered as benign due to the absence of metastases. They are included in fibromatoses and may be associated with Gardner's syndrome. The authors report an unusual case, in a 26 year old man, of a desmoid tumor invading ileon, right colon, appendix and the right ureter and responsible of a ureteral obstruction. Etiologic factors (traumatic, hormonal, auto-immune...) are discussed. The treatment of choice to lower the risk of recurrence is the complete surgical removal of the tumor.

We report a case of a 37 year old man who presented with vomiting and colicky abdominal pain and who was found to have microscopic haematuria. Radiological-examination showed a right hydronephrosis apparently caused by a paracaecal tumour extending to involve the right ureter. This was resected and proved histologically to be a mesenteric fibromatosis. The patient has none of the factors predisposing to the development of this lesion, in particular Gardner's syndrome. Eight months following surgery he appears to have made a full recovery. Previous publications on this rare intra-abdominal neoplasm are reviewed.

Gardner's Syndrome comprises numerous pathological entities, one of which is the intraabdominal desmoid tumour which can provoke obstructive uropathy through ureteral trapping. Contribution of one case treated with resection of the trapped ureter, reanastomosis and plasty with peritoneal flap. Discussion of the diagnosis, evolution, and the different therapeutical choices found in the literature.

The authors report a case of isolated mesenteric fibromatosis un associated with familial adenomatous polyposis or Gardner's syndrome or prior abdominal surgery. These neoplasms are usually asymptomatic until when the compression of the small or large bowel or the ureter causes symptoms; although they are benign lesions without metastases, local recurrences are very frequent. Surgical removal is the primary treatment; until now no satisfactory results have been obtained with other therapeutic modalities.

Desmoid tumours are rare lesions with a local invasive potential and a risk of recurrence, considered to be benign due to the absence of metastases. They are classified as fibromatoses and may be associated with Gardner's syndrome. The authors report an unusual case, in a 33-year-old woman, of a desmoid tumour invading the right ureter with upper tract dilatation. Etiologic factors (traumatic, hormonal, auto-immune...) are discussed, together with the treatment of choice to lower the risk of recurrence.

A 20-year-old woman with Gardner syndrome and intra-abdominal desmoid tumors presented with increasing abdominal pain. CT demonstrated a new area of central hypodensity in a presumed desmoid tumor, compressing the left ureter. Findings were suspicious for abscess or fistula to the ureter. Subsequent 99mTc-MAG3 renogram demonstrated persistent extraureteral radiotracer activity in the region of the tumor, confirming a desmoid tumor-ureteral fistula. Desmoid tumors are benign but locally aggressive fibrous neoplasms that can be sporadic or associated with familial adenomatous polyposis syndromes, specifically Gardner syndrome. Fistula formation to the ureter has been reported infrequently.
