Abstract
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare clinicopathological entity individualized in 1989. Its etiopathogenesis is still unknown, and diagnosis can be achieved only by immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic studies. The objective of this work is to report two new cases of DSRCT and to review the literature to clarify its epidemiological, clinical and pathological aspects.
