Mesenteric fibromatosis is a locally invasive myofibroblastic proliferation and rarely metastasize to other organs. Hollow organ perforation and acute diffuse peritonitis caused by mesenteric fibromatosis rarely occurred. Here we report a case of huge mesenteric fibromatosis who complained a paroxysmal epigastric pain, and CT scan showed a huge mass, pneumoperitoneum and ascites. An urgent laparotomy showed an intro-abdominal mass and perforation locating at the jejunum. Postoperative histology confirmed it to be mesenteric fibromatosis. With one-year follow-up, the patient had no recurrence. We wish to share our treating experience of this interesting case because it did not belong to a typical type but presenting with acute diffuse peritonitis, and total resection and R0 margin is a key to treat acute case. This atypical one has not been reported in the literature till now.

Purpose: Three prospective observational studies (Italy, the Netherlands, France) on active surveillance (AS) in patients with extra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) support AS as a frontline approach. Identifying prognostic factors for the failure of AS will help determine the strategy. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of clinical and molecular variables in a larger series.
