Abstract:
The authors describe a case of multiplex fibrous pseudotumor of the great omentum that developed in a 15 year-old man and was treated by surgical resection. They discuss the clinical and pathological differential diagnostic problems and give a review of the omental tumors and pseudotumors. The occurrence of pseudotumors in the abdomen is rare and these are mostly inflammatory variants. On our knowledge this case is one of the first of multiplex fibrous pseudotumor simulating fibroma that was localized in the great omentum.
Insights
This study reports a rare case of multiplex fibrous pseudotumor in a 15-year-old male
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Omental tumors and pseudotumors are uncommon abdominal findings.
- Abdominal pseudotumors are typically inflammatory in nature.
Observation:
- A 15-year-old male presented with a multiplex fibrous pseudotumor of the great omentum.
- The condition mimicked a fibroma on initial presentation.
Findings:
- Surgical resection was the chosen treatment modality.
- This case represents a rare instance of multiplex fibrous pseudotumor in the great omentum.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in abdominal masses.
- Contributes to the understanding of omental pseudotumors and their differential diagnosis.
