Desmoid tumors are rare neoplasms arising at the site of any fascia. Although histologically benign, they can cause local infiltration and they also carry a risk of recurrence. We describe the case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with a desmoid tumor at the site of an old trauma, and we briefly review the literature of this lesion.
