Abstract
A case is reported of an intra-abdominal desmoplastic small cell tumor featuring giant bizarre nuclei, an event not previously recorded in this entity to the best of the authors' knowledge. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and molecular genetics. A list is provided of the many other conditions in which this morphologically spectacular but clinically inconsequential nuclear change has been recorded.
