OBJECTIVE. Our objective was to evaluate the CT features of desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) of the abdomen and pelvis in pediatric and young adult patients.

CONCLUSION. Characteristic CT features of DSRCT include bulky intraabdominal soft-tissue masses that involve omental and serosal surfaces, without a distinct organ of origin; solid, dominant, heterogeneous pelvic masses in the retrovesical or rectouterine spaces; and concurrent metastases, common at the time of diagnosis, particularly those involving lymph nodes and liver.
