Although large intra-abdominal desmoid tumors, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors are slow growing, they tend to invade locally, especially to the mesenteric root and/or celiac axis and other abdominal viscera. Complete resection followed by multivisceral transplantation could be a therapeutic option for these advanced tumors.

We report a 21-year-old woman with synovial sarcoma on anterior abdominal wall at 34th week of gestation, which was clinically diagnosed as desmoid tumor. Tumor was totally excised. After 6 months, it relapsed in the form of multiple abdominal wall swellings and ascites.
