The other name of desmoid tumor is aggressive fibromatosis, locally aggressive injury to soft tissues caused by connective soft tissue. Reports are rare in children under 10 years of age. We present a desmoid tumor case in a 2-year-old boy at the middle and lower third of the left rectus abdominis.
