Large intra-abdominal desmoid tumour posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, a case report.

We present the case of a 46-year-old gentleman originally from China who presented to the acute surgical assessment unit complaining of upper abdominal discomfort, dyspepsia and early satiety ongoing for the previous 6 months. On exam he had a palpable mass in the left upper quadrant. He underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy which was normal and later received a CT abdomen which identified a well-circumscribed soft tissue mass in the mesenteric fat and lying adjacent to the transverse colon with no obvious cleavage plane between them.
