Case report

A CASE OF SPONTANEOUS MESENTERIC FIBROMATOSIS OCCURRED FROM THE MESENTERY OF THE SMALL INTESTINE

The fibromatosis is benign tumor which is characterized by the remarkable proliferation and the invasive growth of fibrous tissue and no distant metastasis. It usually occurs from the abdominal wall or the extremities, and rarely from the mesentery.
A 54-year-old male complained of an epigastralgia and emesis. He was diagnosed through imaging as the obstructive ileus by abdominal tumor. The laparotorny was performed and a round, egg sized tumor was found wear by dilated ileum. The tumor was considered to occur from the mesentery, and the ileectomy with the tumor was completed.
It was suggested that ileus occurred in the early stage because the tumor was located just by the ileum.
