Mesenteric Fibromatosis in a Postpartum Patient: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Desmoid tumors are benign and rare fibroblastic neoplasms which behave in a locally-aggressive manner to infiltrate into the adjacent tissue and have a high incidence of local recurrence after surgical excision. Desmoid tumors may develop during or shortly after pregnancy. Case presentation : We report here a case of abdominal desmoid tumor involving the ileum and its mesentery in a 22-year-old woman after pregnancy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a well-bordered, well-encapsulated mass with 7x8 cm dimensions on the right side of the abdomen neighboring intestinal loops and the mesentery. The tumor was excised radically along with a part of the ileum with 2 cm tumor-free margins. Histological examination revealed desmoid-type fibromatosis with no immunoreactivity for estrogen and progesterone receptors. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged on the 10 th postoperative day. Conclusion: We conclude that, intra-abdominal masses other than fetus should raise suspicion of desmoid tumor which requires timely-intervention during obstetric follow-up.
