This case report describes a desmoid tumor diagnosed during pregnancy that clinically resembled a subcutaneous endometriosis lesion, highlighting diagnostic mimicry in that context. The authors present the patient’s presentation and the diagnostic process leading to the final identification of the tumor rather than endometriosis. The paper is limited by its single-patient case-report design, with conclusions constrained to this individual presentation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it discusses a desmoid tumor in pregnancy that mimicked subcutaneous endometriosis.

Desmoid tumors are benign non-metastasizing tumors. However, they may proliferate and infiltrate into adjacent tissues with high recurrence rates. Even though its etiology is unclear, a previous histories of trauma, surgery, pregnancy, use of medication containing estrogen, and having conditions such as familial adenomatous polyposis and Gardner syndrome can be regarded as contributing or risk factors.
