Abstract
Desmoplastic small round-cell tumors in young adults were first described i n 1989. They may be revealed by an abdominal mass or a peritoneal carcinoma tosis. The diagnosis and the initial treatment are based on debulking surge ry. Chemotherapy using doxorubicin, ifosfamide, etoposide and cisplatin can then be proposed. Despite some initial chemosensitivity prognosis remains poor.
