Abstract

|
Mesenteric fibromatosis is a rare benign fibrous tumor that can occur from bowel mesentery of the retroperitoneum. It can infiltrate the surrounding structures and tends to recur locally even after resection but does not have metastatic capability. Mesenteric fibromatosis represents 8% of all intra-abdominal desmoid neoplasm. We experienced a case of mesenteric fibromatosis in a 50-year-old woman with a painless abdominal mass. An exploratory laparotomy was performed, and two large, small bowel mesenteric masses were found which were invading the transverse colon. The segment of the jejunum and transverse colon including the masses were resected widely and the pathologic report confirmed the diagnosis of fibromatosis. We reviewed the features of the mesenteric fibromatosis, that is, clinical, imaging, pathological, immunohistological features, and differential diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric fibromatosis.
