Abstract
Gardner's syndrome (GS) is complicated by abdominal desmoid tumors in approximately 8% of cases. We describe two cases of ureteral obstructi on and fistulization due to rapidly enlarging desmoid tumors. Initial management consisted of placement of ureteral stents to provide urine drainage from the kidney as well as from the collection in the cavitie s within the desmoid tumors.
