MESENTERIC FIBROMATOSIS: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Authors report a case of mesenteric fibromatosis, not associated to familial adenomatous polyposis or Gardner’s syndrome.

It is generally considered benign lesion without metastases, though local recurrences are very frequent.

No symptoms are usually referred until compression of the surrounding organs, due to the mass growing, takes place.

Surgical therapy is considered treatment of choice.
