Port site desmoid tumour following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A case report.

Desmoid tumours are locally aggressive tumours occurring either spontaneously or in familial conditions. History of trauma is invariably present with surgical trauma being a common cause. Port site desmoid tumours are extremely rare conditions. Inadequate treatment results in high recurrence rate and substantial morbidity. Reconstruction, if required, by the appropriate technique is vital to avoid an incisional hernia. Adjuvant therapy may be useful in large locally advanced or recurrent tumours. We describe a young female with large port site desmoid tumour following laparoscopic cholecystectomy managed with wide local excision and mesh placement.
