ABSTRACT
The desmoid tumors are rare benign fibrous tumors, its intra-thoracic localization is exceptional. Authors report three cases of intra-thoracic tumors, 2 of them were operated. The cases were 3 females, aged 27 to 32 years old, with a mean age of 29,6 years. The symptomatology was silent, in all of them, dominated by chest pain, one case had a palpable mass. The radiological examination did not show a suggestive evocative aspect. The diagnosis depends on the histological findings 2 cases have been operated, and despite the carcinologic resection, relapse occurred in one patient after 9 months. Due to the tumor extensive and infiltrative character its illdefined limits, the third case had only a radiochemotherapy treatment. Our series shows the importance of a well knowledge of these rare tumors, before any therapeutic surgical treatment decision
