Mesenteric fibromatosis with involvement of the gastrointestinal tract

Trop Gastroenterol. 2006 Oct-Dec;27(4):177-8.

Abstract

Primary mesenteric fibromatosis is a rare condition. The aggressive nature of these tumors and the potential for major morbidity secondary to resection makes it a challenging disease for the surgeon. We report a case of mesenteric fibromatosis with involvement of small bowel.
