Abstract
Rationale Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare and locally infiltrative monoclonal fibroblastic proliferation with lack of metastatic potential. We describe a rare case of intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis on young female with hyperemesis. Patient concerns A 23-year-old female was admitted with hyperemesis and loss of weight. Diagnoses According to imaging findings and immunohistology findings, a diagnosis of intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis was formulated. Outcomes After the surgery, no evidence of local recurrence was noted during the 6 months of follow-up. Lessons AF may explain why pregnant women may have severe hyperemesis.

Abstract
A 74-year-old man was being investigated for a pancreatic insulinoma when an incidental mesenteric mass measuring 2.6 cm x 2.5 cm was noticed on CT imaging. A wait-and-see approach was decided on. Thirty-nine months later, the patient presented with symptoms of abdominal obstruction. CT images revealed the mesenteric mass filled majority of the abdominal cavity and measured 29 cm x 26 cm x 16 cm. The patient underwent an open bypass gastrojejunostomy which stopped working a few weeks later due to further compression by the tumour. A debulking surgery was performed: a right hemicolectomy and small bowel resection with excision of the desmoid tumour and bypass gastrojejunostomy. The tumour measured 12.6 kg and was macroscopically visualised to have a white cut surface with a focal translucent area. Microscopic analysis revealed bland spindle cells with pale eosinophilic cytoplasm showing no cytological atypia, in keeping with a mesenteric desmoid tumour. Currently, two and a half years from the debulking surgery, the patient remains well and in remission with planned surveillance.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) may undergo either ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) or ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) depending on the degree of rectal involvement. Desmoid tumors (DTs) may arise postoperatively. Whether IPAA is associated with a higher risk of DTs as compared with IRA remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine whether IPAA increased the risk of DTs by analyzing the published data that compared IRA and IPAA as the primary treatment for FAP. METHODS A metaanalysis was performed to analyze the published data between 1989 and 2019. IRA and IPAA were compared with respect to the incidence of DTs. RESULTS Eight retrospective studies with a total of 1072 patients were identified: 491 underwent IPAA and 581 IRA. There was no significant difference in the incidence of DTs between IPAA and IRA (11.81% vs. 9.47%, OR 0.95, P = 0.85). Meanwhile, the overall complication (42.97% vs. 36.76%, OR 1.32, P = 0.11), incidence of cancer (4.88% vs. 8.37%, OR 0.28, P = 0.26), and overall mortality (0.33% vs. 5.20%, OR 0.49, P = 0.53) were comparable too. CONCLUSION Ileoanal pouch surgery is associated with similar risk of desmoid in patients with FAP after surgery.

Familial Adenomatous Polyposis and Desmoid Tumor Treated with Multivisceral Transplantation and Kidney Autotransplantation: Case Report and Literature Review. Case Rep Surg 2020; 2019:6064720. [PMID: 31934485 PMCID: PMC6942762 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6064720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2019] [Revised: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 12/11/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Desmoid tumours (DT) are commonly associated with Gardener's syndrome. Their surgical resection may be complicated by their close proximity to major vessels, multiple organ involvement, and frequent local recurrence. Multivisceral transplantation (MVTx) is an alternative treatment for patients with intestinal and liver failure. In patients with DT closely associated with renal structures but without end-stage kidney disease, concomitant excision of the patient's own kidney, ex vivo tumour resection with nephron-sparing surgery, or autotransplantation has been proposed. Case Presentation A 36-year-old Caucasian female weighing 60 kg with Gardener's syndrome with a history of abdominal surgery was presented to our department with progressive abdominal distention associated with paroxysmal pain. With the use of CT, the patient was diagnosed with a mass arising from the mesenterial region. The patient had normal kidney function and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The patient was indicated for MVTx. Management and Outcome After 16 months on the waiting list, the patient received a multivisceral graft from a deceased donor. Following the restoration of graft vascular flow, the patient's right kidney was removed and the DT dissected ex vivo before autotransplantation into the right pelvic fossa. The patient received immunosuppressive, antithrombotic, and antibiotic treatment. There was no acute rejection, though the patient experienced pulmonary infection, dysphagia, and oesophageal reflux with fungal infection. The patient had required temporary dialysis for acute renal failure for 75 days. One year after the surgery, nausea and violent vomiting caused delayed gastric emptying caused by spastic pylorus. Clinical improvement was achieved using gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM). Conclusion MVTx with kidney autotransplantation is a feasible treatment option in patients with familiar adenomatous polyposis complicated by an abdominal DT. Precise tumour dissection with nephron-sparing surgery was carried ex vivo. G-POEM was used to relieve MVTx-related gastroparesis. The patient had no disease reoccurrence after one-year follow-up.

Ruptured desmoid tumor imitating acute appendicitis - a rare reason for an emergency surgery. BMC Surg 2019; 19:194.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desmoid tumors, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are extremely rare, accounting for less than 3% of soft-tissue sarcomas and less than 0,03% of all neoplasms. The diagnosis is usually delayed because of the lack of specific symptoms, and can sometimes lead to serious and, even fatal complications. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 27-year-old male patient presenting with the clinical picture of acute appendicitis. During the operation, we found a tumor in the jejunum with a necrotic zone and perforation on its surface, causing hemorrhagic effusion into the abdominal cavity and subsequent peritonitis. The tumor was removed with negative margins via resection of the small bowel. The final histological result showed aggressive fibromatosis. CONCLUSIONS Aggressive fibromatosis remains a serious problem with the possibility of locally aggressive behavior with high rates of recurrence. Sometimes, its clinical and macroscopic recognition can be immensely tricky. As shown by our patient, on rare occasions, desmoid tumors can lead to acute surgical abdomen requiring an emergency operation.
