Summary
This original report describes the occurrence of a desmoid tumor in the site of renal transplantation, being evaluated as a differential diagnosis, although rare, of primary renal neoplasm of the graft. The understanding of the possibility of this tumor occurrence, simulating primary renal neoplasia (rapid growth and locoregional aggressiveness), would avoid, as in this case, unnecessary graft removal, sparing patients from evolution to dialytic chronic renal disease again.
