Description
Zhivorad Kocevski and co-authors report a giant belly-wall tumour that looked like an overhanging apron of fat. Their 2025 case report concerns a desmoid tumour, a rare growth that spreads locally but never to distant sites. It had grown so large that it buried the patient's anatomy and cut his quality of life. The team reviews past reports of such oversized cases. They stress how size alone can mislead diagnosis and turn surgery into a hard problem, even for a tumour that cannot spread.
