Gardner's syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. Familial polyposis of the colon, osteomas, hypertrophy of the retinal-pigmented layer and a multitude of soft tissue tumors are characteristic features. The syndrome may be presented with colonic or extracolonic symptoms. A 75-year-old male patient presented to Al-zahra Clinic with diffuse abdominal pain. An abdominal surgery wa...

Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare soft tissue tumor that composes of myofibroblasts that arise from musculoaponeurotic structures. It usually affects the abdominal wall but may be also found in other less common sites including the head and neck, submucosa of the oral cavity, spinal, haunch and limbs, especially, the limbs and sacrococcygeal region are rare locations. We described two cases of ...

PURPOSE To discuss a case of ovarian fibromatosis/massive ovarian oedema, intra-abdominal fibromatosis, sclerosing peritonitis and Meig's syndrome. To review the reported therapeutic options. PATIENTS Case report of a 27-year-old female with the combined pathology of ovarian fibromatosis/massive ovarian oedema, intra-abdominal fibromatosis, sclerosing peritonitis and Meig's syndrome. METHOD...

aggressive fibromatosis or desmoid tumors, histologically indicated by small bundles of spindle cells in a fibrous background, are uncommon benign tumors without metastasis. they are recurrent and aggressive and their recurrence and severity is exacerbated following surgical operation. based on previous reports, these tumors rarely present as intra-abdominal abscesses. herein, a 54-year-old wom...

INTRODUCTION Intra-abdominal fibromatosis, usually located at the mesenteric level, is a locally invasive tumor of fibrous origin, with no ability to metastasize, but a tendency to recur. Certain non-typical cases of intra-abdominal fibromatosis with involvement of the bowel wall can be misdiagnosed because of their different biological behavior. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the case of a 64...

Extra-abdominal fibromatosis (desmoid tumour) is a rare aggressive neoplasm with a tendency to infiltrate local structures but rarely metastasises or undergoes spontaneous malignant transformation. The treatment of choice is surgery, however, recurrences have been reported even after wide-field resection. This article presents a case of extra-abdominal fibromatosis that had extensively invaded ...

Fibromatosis encompasses a broad group of benign fibroblastic proliferations of similar microscopic appearance whose biologic behavior is intermediate between that of benign fibroblastic lesion and fibrosarcoma. Like fibrosarcoma, fibromatosis is characterized by infiltrative growth and frequent recurrences. But, unlike fibrosarcoma, fibromatosis never metastasizes. Fibromatosis can occur in va...

INTRODUCTION Mesenteric fibromatosis or intra-abdominal desmoid tumour is a rare proliferative disease affecting the mesentery. It is a locally aggressive tumour that lacks metastatic potential, but the local recurrence is common. Mesenteric fibromatosis with the intestinal involvement can be easily confused with other primary gastrointestinal tumours, especially with that of the mesenchymal or...
