Abstract
We describe a unique case of a de novo desmoid tumor of the posterior mediastinum in a 21-year-old nulligravida. The tumor recurred twice despite its histologically confirmed radical extirpations. Because of the aggressive local behavior of desmoid tumors and their unusual locations, which prevent wide excision margins, we favor the early consideration of adjuvant therapy.
