Summary
This study reports the first case of multiple intra-abdominal juvenile fibrosarcoma (JFS) in an adolescent. Laparoscopic surgery successfully removed these rare abdominal tumors, offering a minimally invasive treatment option.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Fibrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of fibroblasts.
- Adult-type fibrosarcoma (AFS) typically affects adults but can occur in adolescents as juvenile fibrosarcoma (JFS).
- JFS rarely develops within the abdominal cavity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a unique case of multiple intra-abdominal JFS.
- To highlight the successful management of this rare condition.
Main Methods:
- A 13-year-old female presented with abdominal pain.
- Imaging revealed multiple abdominal masses.
- Laparoscopic surgery was performed for complete excision of the masses.
Main Results:
- Two distinct masses were identified and surgically removed.
- The patient experienced no postoperative complications.
- This represents the first reported instance of multiple intra-abdominal JFS.
Conclusions:
- Multiple intra-abdominal JFS is an exceptionally rare presentation.
- Laparoscopic surgery is a viable and effective treatment for localized JFS.
- This case expands the understanding of JFS presentation and management.
