Mesenteric fibromatosis, often linked to Gardner's syndrome, can cause intestinal issues. This study reviews cases, including one with recurrences, highlighting diagnostic challenges and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Mesenteric fibromatosis is a rare benign tumor.
  • It is frequently associated with Gardner's syndrome and familial polyposis.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to insidious onset and varied presentation.

Observation:

  • The study presents a case of mesenteric fibromatosis with two documented recurrences.
  • Two additional cases with no tumor recurrence are also discussed.
  • Lesions may present asymptomatically or cause intestinal compression.

Findings:

  • Mesenteric fibromatosis can recur, necessitating vigilant follow-up.
  • Complete surgical resection may lead to favorable outcomes in some cases.
  • Differential diagnosis includes various intra-abdominal masses.

Implications:

  • Understanding recurrence patterns is crucial for patient management.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis improves patient outcomes.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal treatment strategies is warranted.
