In 14 years the authors have recorded 18 cases of desmomas. Most of the cases were situated in the 3rd and 4th decade. They only found 8 times the usual localization in the abdominal musculature. In five of their observations they found and accidental or surgical traumatism. The histopathological data are given and the ultrastructural examination reveals the fibrillogenetic activity of the tumoral cells. Multiple recurrences were observed in two cases; they concerned lesions localized in the members. No metastatic evolution was to be found.
