AIMS: To review the surgical management and outcomes for large desmoid tumours of the abdominal wall. METHODS: Seven patients with large desmoid tumours of the anterior abdominal wall were treated by wide local excision and reconstruction with two layers of Marlex V mesh (Bard, Galway, Ireland). RESULTS: No patient having initial surgery at this hospital has either a significant residual functional deficit or developed a recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Large desmoid tumours of the abdominal wall are safely and adequately managed with abdominal wall resection followed by mesh reconstruction. Copyright 1999 W.B. Saunders Company Ltd.
