We report a case of pelvic fibromatosis, which has been rarely found. A 36-year-old man referred to our hospital complaining of right abdominal pain and a swelling mass. Abdominal CT and transabdominal echogram revealed a tumor contacted to the bladder. A nonpapillary tumor (little finger sized) at the bladder dome was observed by cystoscopy, and the tumor was clinically considered as urachal tumor. Wide radical excision including the bladder and prostate was performed. Pathological diagnosis was pelvic fibromatosis arising from musculoaponeurotic structures in the pelvis: The fibromatosis is benign nonmetastatic tumor but the recurrence rate is considerably high. However, in the present case, 14 months after operation there is no recurrence yet.

Article Synopsis
- - Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare tumor that forms in deep soft tissues and doesn't spread to other parts of the body; the case revolves around a 78-year-old male with this condition found incidentally in the abdomen.
- - Initial imaging revealed a large mass in the abdomen, leading to a successful surgery to remove the tumor and part of the small intestine, which confirmed the diagnosis of primary desmoid-type fibromatosis.
- - Even after clear removal, the patient experienced a recurrence of the tumor 17 months later, necessitating another surgery, with a smooth recovery reported post-operation.
