The current report presents a case of an omental fibromatosis discovered incidentally in a 46-year-old woman with no particular medical history and few symptoms. A surgical biopsy was performed initially, and microscopic examination revealed myofibroblastic proliferation. After additional immunohistochemical and molecular analyses, omental fibromatosis was diagnosed. Omental fibromatosis, also called intra-abdominal desmoid, is a rare and benign tumour but can be locally aggressive. Majority of cases are asymptomatic, and difficult to diagnose based on clinical presentation and radiological investigation. Final diagnosis is usually made on histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies. Surgical wide excision is currently the treatment of choice.

Rationale: Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) is a fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumor known for its locally aggressive properties. Intra-abdominal AF primarily occurs in the small intestine mesentery, ileocolic mesocolon, omentum, retroperitoneum, and pelvis, and rarely originates from the intestinal wall. Here, we report a rare case of small bowel obstruction caused by duodenum-derived AF with β-catenin (CTNNB1) T41A mutation.

Article Synopsis
- Scrotal enlargement can stem from various causes like tumors, inflammation, and hernias; however, a rare case involved a tumor in the greater omentum extending into the scrotum through an inguinal hernia.
- A 25-year-old male experienced scrotal enlargement and pain for three months, leading to a diagnosis of a benign fibroma of the greater omentum along with an indirect inguinal hernia after surgical exploration.
- This case emphasizes the importance of thorough evaluations, including history, physical exams, and imaging, before deciding on surgical interventions.

Article Synopsis
- Meigs' syndrome is characterized by a combination of ascites, pleural effusion, and a benign ovarian tumor, typically a fibroma, while pseudo-Meigs' syndrome involves other types of tumors.
- A 40-year-old woman presented with a large pelvic-abdominal mass, tense ascites, and pleural effusion, leading to the discovery of elevated cancer antigen-125 levels.
- Surgical findings revealed a giant uterine leiomyoma and confirmed the presence of an unusual arteriovenous malformation in the omentum, marking this case as the first documented occurrence of two rare conditions together.
