Summary

We present a case of an aggressive fibromatosis in a 28-year-old male patient with no previous medical history. The tumor was in the retroperitoneum and eventually caused perforation of the coecum. During the operation, no metastasis was found; however, local lymphadenopathy was seen. After the surgical resection, no adjuvant therapy (radio or chemotherapy) was given to the patient and on follow-up (after three years), no recurrence was observed.
