    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Mesenteric fibromas are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from the mesentery.
    • They can present asymptomatically or with non-specific symptoms like abdominal pain or distension.
    • Preoperative diagnosis can be challenging due to their rarity and variable presentation.

    Observation:

    • An 18-year-old African woman presented with asymptomatic abdominal enlargement.
    • Imaging studies suggested a large abdominal mass.
    • Surgical exploration revealed a significant mesenteric fibroma.

    Findings:

    • Complete tumor excision required resection of 50 cm of small intestine.
    • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery.

  • Histopathological confirmation of mesenteric fibroma.
  • Implications:

    • This case underscores the rarity of mesenteric fibromas and the potential for large tumor burdens.
    • It highlights the importance of considering rare abdominal tumors in the differential diagnosis of unexplained abdominal masses.
    • Advanced surgical techniques may be necessary for complete tumor removal, impacting adjacent organs.
