Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare malignant neoplasm with an aggressive clinical course and high mortality. The case of a 21-year-old man is presented, who consulted for abdominal pain of moderate intensity radiating to the right flank, fever and weight loss. Contrast abdominal tomography was performed, documenting a large intraperitoneal mass with areas of central necrosis and extension to the pelvis, in addition to secondary neoplastic liver lesions. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy, which reported extensive infiltration by malignant tumor, consisting of cells with vesicular nuclei of clear chromatin, eosinophilic cytoplasm and immunohistochemistry compatible with said tumor. This case report is compared with the findings described in other series published in the literature and a clinical review of the subject is made.
