Abstract |
Aggressive intraabdominal fibromatosis is a rare response to surgical trauma. Characteristic is the local destroying growth. Only an operation in the purpose of R0-resection ends in cure. We report on a 29-year-old man, who developed intraabdominal fibromatosis as reaction to surgical trauma 19 years after appendectomy and subsequent to several relaparotomies due to adhesions. A huge conglomeratumor which included the ileum and the colon acsendens resulted in bowel obstruction and ileus. Complete surgical removal of the tumor lead after a primary complicated course to recovery.
