Desmoid tumors are rare benign tumors with local aggressive clinical course but without the risk of metastasis. Etiopathogenesis of desmoid tumors is not known clearly. They can develop after trauma. Desmoid tumors are mostly located on abdominal wall and very rarely on suprapubic region. There is not a standard treatment approach for desmoid tumors. Firstly a wide surgical excision should be performed. As local recurrence rates are high patients should be followed up closely after surgery. Here in, a case with giant desmoid tumor located on suprapubic region treated successfully with a reconstructive surgery and followed up without a recurrence was reported.
