Mesenteric fibromatosis, also known as desmoid tumor of mesentery is a rare benign soft tissue proliferative tumor having its origin in the mesenteric tissue. It is a locally aggressive tumor. Desmoid tumor accounted for 0.03% of all tumors, and less than 3% of all soft tissue tumors. Mesenteric fibromatosis accounts for about 8% of all cases of desmoid tumor. Though it lacks malignant potential, recurrences have been documented in the literature. It is important to differentiate mesenteric fibromatosis from GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumor) as it is its closest differential on radiology as well as on histopathology. Misdiagnosis can lead to hazardous therapeutic management. Here we present an unusual case of mesenteric fibromatosis. A twenty five years old female presenting with abdominal distension and discomfort. CT suggestive of small intestinal tumor preoperatively suspected as GIST and Post-operatively histopathology reveals it to be Mesentric fibromatosis. IHC-proven histopathological diagnosis is mandatory for mesenteric fibromatosis as other closest differentials have a completely different surgical and therapeutic management. Usually, mesenteric fibromatosis is diagnosed as GIST on radiology and tissue diagnosis followed by IHC is mandatory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
