Desmoplastic small round cell tumour: A case report of a rare abdominopelvic malignancy

Abstract

Desmoplastic small round cell tumour (DSRCT) is an aggressive, rare tumour mainly affecting young males. DSRCT and other small round cell tumours have some akin characteristics. It generally presents with non-specific features which can be easily missed. The possibility of DSRCT should always kept in mind whenever a patient presents with vague abdominal manifestations and radiological sign of diffusely spreading intra-abdominal malignancy. The authors take this opportunity to report a case of DSRCT occurring in a 22-year-old male, for its rare occurrence.
