Sporadic Giant Mesenteric Fibromatosis

Sporadic Mesenteric Fibromatosis Presenting as Intra-Abdominal Sepsis

We report an unusual case of mesenteric fibromatosis, a desmoid tumor, mimicking a left upper quadrant abscess, presenting as sepsis and colonic pseudo-obstruction. The authors review the presentation, workup and suggested treatment strategies for this rare tumor. Hunter Nolen1, Kulvinder S. Bajwa1, Sheilendra S. Mehta1, Peter A. Walker1, M.

Isolated giant mesenteric fibromatosis (intra-abdominal desmoid tumors). Case report.

A rare case of isolated giant mesenteric fibromatosis is presented. The tumor originated from the fibrous mesenteric tissue. The patient underwent laparotomy because of abdominal discomfort and sub-occlusive symptoms due to the giant mass. Differential diagnosis of mesenteric masses is discussed and the Authors also review the literature concerning this rare disease.

Mesenteric Fibromatosis Causing Ureteral Stenosis

Mesenteric fibromatosis is a rare benign disease characterized by proliferating fibrous tissue in the bowel mesentery. We report a case of aggressive mesenteric fibromatosis with ureteral stenosis arising in a 46-year-old woman who suffered from intermittent right abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed a right retroperitoneal mass with right ureteral stenosis at the level of the right com...

Mesenteric fibromatosis with ureteric stenosis.

We report a case of a 37 year old man who presented with vomiting and colicky abdominal pain and who was found to have microscopic haematuria. Radiological-examination showed a right hydronephrosis apparently caused by a paracaecal tumour extending to involve the right ureter. This was resected and proved histologically to be a mesenteric fibromatosis. The patient has none of the factors predis...
