RESUMO
Abdominal desmoid tumor or fibromatosis is a benign non-urological connective tumor which can be mistaken for a urological tumor due to its localization (generally in muscles and aponeurosis of the abdominal wall). It is locally invasive and potentially recurrent. We report on a 53-year-old male with abdominal desmoid tumor whose only symptom was pain. The clinical diagnosis was corroborated by the US and CT findings and confirmed by anatomopathological findings. Wide local surgical excision is the treatment of choice since hormone therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy achieved scant results.

Review of 18 patients with complex urethral stenosis, who underwent a two-stage urethroplasty in our Unit over the last three years. Clinical results have been favourable in all patients and, from the radiological point of view, there has been only one re-stenosis. Complications rate has been low and can be superimposed to that of any urethroplasty procedure. The paper emphasizes the enormous relevance of the care taken between both surgical stages on the procedure's final result.
