Abstract:
Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare benign tumor of mesenchymal origin that may develop in several sites in the body, including the gastrointestinal tract. CFTs could present with clinical symptoms or remain asymptomatic. We report a rare case of CFT located at the jejunal mesentery and attached to a mesenteric band causing small bowel obstruction. This case is distinctive due to the presence of a mesenteric CFT combined with a mesenteric band, causing constriction of the small bowel. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature to report a congenital band associated with CFT. The mass was surgically removed, and the band was released and ligated.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
