Atatürk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Kalp Damar Cerrahisi Kliniği, İzmir

Although it is frequent at abdominal wall, desmoid tumor is a rare primary tumor at chest wall. These benign tumors do not metastaze, develop rapidly and agressively invade the adjacent tissues. After surgical resection local recurrence is not infrequent so, radiotherapy can be planned as a staged therapy. Radical resection of a giant desmoid tumor case which infiltrated brachial plexus at right anterior chest wall and its diagnosis and therapy modalities were reported under the light of the literature.
