Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Plexiform fibromyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor typically found in adult stomachs.
  • The World Health Organization recognized it as a distinct entity in 2010.
  • Pediatric cases are exceptionally rare, with limited documentation.

Observation:

  • A 3-month-old infant presented with intestinal subocclusion due to a jejunal mass.
  • Surgical intervention revealed an infiltrative tumor with spindle-shaped cells in a plexiform myxoid stroma.
  • Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of plexiform fibromyxoma.

Findings:

  • The tumor exhibited an infiltrative growth pattern.
  • Immunohistochemical markers were consistent with plexiform fibromyxoma.
  • Differential diagnosis with other gastrointestinal tumors was discussed.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known age range for plexiform fibromyxoma.
  • It underscores the importance of considering rare tumors in pediatric intestinal obstructions.
  • Surgical resection appears to be a curative treatment for this pediatric case.
