This study reports a rare case of mesenteric fibromatosis in a patient without familial adenomatous polyposis, highlighting its occurrence after periampullary carcinoma treatment. The findings emphasize the need for considering fibromatosis in abdominal masses, even in unusual patient histories.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Fibromatosis presents as a rare, locally aggressive fibrous mass, typically linked to Gardner's Syndrome (familial adenomatous polyposis).
  • Sporadic fibromatosis cases are usually extra-abdominal, distinguishing them from the intra-abdominal manifestations in Gardner's Syndrome.

Observation:

  • A 40-year-old female presented with a large, isolated abdominal mass in the jejunal mesentery.
  • The patient had a history of Whipple's procedure for distal common bile duct adenocarcinoma three years prior.
  • The tumor was spherical, football-sized, and resected along with a segment of jejunum.

Findings:

  • The resected mesenteric mass was diagnosed as fibromatosis.
  • No evidence of metastasis was detected in the patient.

  • This case is unusual due to the occurrence of mesenteric fibromatosis in a patient with a history of periampullary carcinoma and no familial adenomatous polyposis.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of fibromatosis presentation, particularly mesenteric fibromatosis.
    • It underscores the importance of considering fibromatosis in the differential diagnosis of intra-abdominal masses, irrespective of typical associations.
    • The findings suggest that prior abdominal surgery or malignancy may influence the development of sporadic fibromatosis.
