Core Tip

Core Tip: Malignant triton tumor is an uncommon condition characterized by a poor prognosis. Cases emerging in the abdominal wall are especially rare. Swift differential diagnosis and comprehensive surgical removal play a pivotal role in management. In this instance, we managed to treat the patient without the necessity for postoperative radiotherapy, thanks to a wide excision complemented by suitable reconstruction.
