“…Intra‐abdominal fibromatosis, though rare, is considered the commonest primary tumour of the mesentery 20–25 . Most cases are sporadic though there are associations with intra‐abdominal surgery, 21 oestrogenic stimulation, 26 Gardner’s syndrome, 24 familial adenomatous polyposis 27 and bilateral ovarian fibromatosis 28 , 29 .…”

Intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions are uncommon and often present a diagnostic challenge. An important group of such lesions are the gastrointestinal stromal tumours. Other intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions include fibromatosis, various sarcomas-in particular, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour-and, in women, endometrial stromal sarcoma. Less common lesions are inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours, the mesenteric spindle cell reactive lesions, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and solitary fibrous tumour. A variety of intra-abdominal tumours of nonmesenchymal origin may have a spindle cell/sarcomatoid morphology; these include sarcomatoid carcinoma, malignant melanoma and, in women, sarcomatoid granulosa cell tumour. Finally, metastatic sarcomas from pelvic or extra-abdominal organs need also be considered. A set of practical aids to the diagnosis of intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions is presented to assist pathologists dealing with such lesions, particularly with regards to the consideration of differential diagnoses.

“…3 However, it can also occur as a primary condition in the absence of those predisposing factors and is known as primary mesenteric fibromatosis (PMF). 4 There are a few reported cases of PMF with vague abdominal discomfort or asymptomatic abdominal mass. The tumor is usually solitary and located within the small bowel mesentery.…”

“…Primary mesenteric fibromatosis is rare, but a few cases have been reported in the literature. [7][8][9][10] Trauma and previous abdominal surgery have also been reported as predisposing factors for mesenteric fibromatosis. 11,12 However, the strongest association is seen in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis as a component of Gardner's syndrome.…”

Mesenteric fibromatosis is a proliferative fibroblastic neoplasia of the small intestine mesentery that may occur as a unique or multiple formation. Mesenteric fibromatosis is a rare, locally aggressive neoplasm and may present with abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, weight loss, or symptoms of ureteral obstruction, mesenteric ischemia, or intestinal obstruction. It is of the utmost importance to distinguish mesenteric fibromatosis from gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Histopathology accurately differentiates between these two distinct entities. The preferred treatment is local surgical excision with a margin of uninvolved tissue. The involvement of important structures like the superior mesenteric artery and the superior mesenteric vein may pose a challenge during resection, but these tumors can be excised and the vessels repaired primarily.

A Case of Primary Mesenteric Fibromatosis

Abstract: A case of primary mesenteric fibromatosis is reported and the current modalities of therapy are discussed. Surgery is the primary mode of treatment. Other modalities should be reserved for gross local residual disease and for unresectable recurrence.
