ABSTRACT
Extraabdominal desmoid tumors are uncommon soft-tissue tumors. The etiology of the tumor is still unclear. Injury is one of the etiological factors of soft-tissue tumors. A 41-year-old female patient who had a traumatic vertebral body fracture on the thoracic spine was treated conservatively. Two and a half years later, she presented a painful, palpable swelling on the thoracolumbar region. In the present report, was discuss the patient, who underwent a surgery to remove the desmoid tumor (aggressive fibromatosis), within the context of the current literature. The literature on desmoid tumor caused by a trauma is rare. This is the first case that demonstrates an extraabdominal desmoid tumor following a spinal fracture. The swelling on the region of the trauma must be examined carefully and desmoid tumor must be kept in mind as a possible diagnosis.

El tumor desmoplásico de células redondas pequeñas (TDCRP) es una neoplasia maligna que se presenta típicamente como una masa abdominopélvica en un paciente varón durante la segunda o tercera década de la vida. Presentamos dos casos de esta rara patología, describiendo los hallazgos en la tomografía computarizada (TC) y en la anatomía patológica. Realizamos una breve revisión de la bibliografía, haciendo hincapié en las manifestaciones radiológicas de dicha neoplasia (AU)
