Desmoids tumors are rare. They often develop from the fascia and muscles of the abdominal wall. They are considered as benign, but endowed with local aggressiveness. Treatment is primarily surgical. Complete resection with large safety margins and sometimes complex reconstruction is necessary to reduce the risk of local reccurrence. WE report three cases of histology proven desmoids tumors of the abdominal wall treated between 2000 and 2007. Etiologic factors, diagnosis, surgical management and adjuvant therapy in case of incomplete resection or reccurrence are discussed.
