This case report describes a rare presentation of a desmoid tumor occurring in a pregnant patient, which clinically and radiologically resembled subcutaneous endometriosis. The authors highlight the diagnostic challenge posed by the similar appearance of these two distinct pathologies during pregnancy, necessitating careful differentiation to avoid misdiagnosis. The paper emphasizes that while desmoid tumors are benign fibroblastic proliferations, their behavior and imaging features can mimic the inflammatory or infiltrative nature of endometriotic lesions. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as a differential diagnosis for subcutaneous masses, though the paper's main focus is distinguishing desmoid tumors from endometriosis in pregnancy.

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.
