Summary
Mesenteric Fibromatosis (MF) is a proliferative fibroblastic lesion of small intestinal mesentery. It constitutes 8% of all desmoid tumours, which represent 0.03% of all neoplasm. It is histologically benign but may invade locally and recur after excision. It occurs sporadically or in association with Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) mutation as a component of Gardner's syndrome. The presenting features of MF are asymptomatic abdominal mass, abdominal discomfort or pain, bowel or ureteral obstruction, intestinal perforation, fistula, functional impairment of ileoanal anastomosis following colectomy in FAP cases.
