Abstract
We present two cases of desmoid tumour of the anterior abdominal wall in young women in whom the defect after radical excision could not be closed without using prosthesis. The first case warranted the use of a composite mesh, the second a polypropylene prosthesis. In both cases primary closure of the skin was possible. Both women are doing fine with no sign of relapse or incisional hernia.
