Abstract:
Solitary intestinal fibromatosis (SIF) is a very rare condition, with only 13 cases reported. We present a new case of SIF causing neonatal intestinal obstruction and review the literature on this condition. SIF appears to be a condition of infancy and carries a very good prognosis after segmental resection.
