Özet
The term abdominal fibromatosis refers to sporadic, pelvic, and mesenteric lesions and to all the fibromatosis lesions seen in Gardner's syndrome. Sporadic fibromatosis, however, is very rarer and literature offers a limited number of cases. The 14-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with complaints of indefinite abdominal pain in the epigastric area for the last 2 months, dyspeptic problems, and vomiting after eating. Upon the patient's gastroscopy revealed a mass lesion pressuring the stomach, endoscopic ultrasonography was performed. A hyperechoic mass lesion of 9x5 cm thought to have originated from the pancreatic tail was detected. The mass was surgically excised. Although mesenteric fibromatosis shows the characteristics of a benign tumor pathologically, it is extremely aggressive clinically and has a very high rate of recurrence. These patients should be treated like they have malign tumors and surgeons should perform surgical resection as wide as possible.
