<B><I>Background</I>:</B> Desmoplastic small cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare malignancy mainly involv ing the peritoneum of adolescent males. Only a few reports on the cytology of body fluid from patients with DSRCT have been documented.<BR><B><I>Case</I>:</B> We present the cytological findings for an ascitic fluid sample taken from a 13-year-old Japanese male with intraabdominal DSRCT. The patient was admitted to our hospital for abdominal distention and gross ascites. A cytological evaluation of the ascitic fluid revealled the presence of monotonous small round cells and a small number of another kind of large atypical cells with thick cytoplasm corresponding to the characteristic perinuclear round hyaline material of DSRCT. The tumor was resected, but the patient died from a recurrence two years later.<BR><B><I>Conclusion</I>:</B> DSRCT should be considered as a differential diagnosis of gross ascites accompanied by a bulky intra-abdominal tumor in adolescents.
