Popis:	A 15-year-old male with a mesenteric desmoid tumor and underlying familial adenomatous polyposis presented 2 weeks after initiating sorafenib with severe abdominal pain and chills and was found to have an acute abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a necrotic, ruptured tumor with impending small bowel obstruction. The patient was later able to resume sorafenib and experienced sustained a radiographic response. It is possible that sorafenib toxicity contributed to tumor rupture yet later provided clinical benefit. Here we review the gastrointestinal complications that are associated with intra-abdominal desmoid tumors and their therapies.
