Abstract
The mesenteric desmoid tumor requires special attention and the most demanding treatment. Here we present a rare case of a large mesenteric desmoid tumor secondary to familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) in a 34-year-old man accepted the ex vivo resection, and intestinal autotransplantation. A 34-year-old man was referred to our department with a 6-year history of intermittent hematochezia without any other discomfort after undergoing partial colectomy in February 2013, and 5 endoscopic mucosal resections of colon polyps between May 2012 and July 2015 due to pathological diagnosis of FAP. A computed tomography scan showed a huge abdominal mass with indistinct boundary at the root of the mesentery. The adjacent organs were pushed and most of the superior mesenteric artery branches were infiltrated. An en bloc resection (R0 resection), and an ex vivo resection followed by intestinal autotransplantation was performed. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the 25th day after the operation, and was regularly followed up after surgery with abdominal ultrasonography and laboratory-biochemical tests every month, and serial CT scans every 3 months which showed no evidence of tumor recurrence, thrombus, intestinal obstruction o...Continue Reading
