In the last nine years we have operated upon six children (eight males and two females) with primary omental pathology. The age of our patients ranged from five to eleven years with the exception of a newborn prenatally diagnosed of lymphangioma. All the remaining children had abdominal pain and right iliac tenderness for an average of two days. All had leukocytosis and left shift. Vomiting and fever were present only in one instance. In no case the mass was palpated preoperatively. The initial diagnosis was acute appendicitis in all cases. A patient suffered, one year after operation, a second acute clinical picture and the omental mass could be revealed [correction of decealed] preoperatively. At operation there was free intraperitoneal fluid in six instances (three times bloody, two times clear and one purulent). Surgical findings (nine operations) were: three omental segmental infarctions (primary in two cases and secondary to torsion in one), three segmental epiploitis in two patients (one acute, one chronic, one secondary to foreign body), two cystic lesions (one lymphangioma, one hydatic cyst) and one benign tumor (fibromatosis).

We report a case of a 37 year old man who presented with vomiting and colicky abdominal pain and who was found to have microscopic haematuria. Radiological-examination showed a right hydronephrosis apparently caused by a paracaecal tumour extending to involve the right ureter. This was resected and proved histologically to be a mesenteric fibromatosis. The patient has none of the factors predisposing to the development of this lesion, in particular Gardner's syndrome. Eight months following surgery he appears to have made a full recovery. Previous publications on this rare intra-abdominal neoplasm are reviewed.

The fibromatosis is benign tumor which is characterized by the remarkable proliferation and the invasive growth of fibrous tissue and no distant metastasis. It usually occurs from the abdominal wall or the extremities, and rarely from the mesentery. A 54-year-old male complained of an epigastralgia and emesis. He was diagnosed through imaging as the obstructive ileus by abdominal tumor. The laparotomy was performed and a round, egg sized tumor was found wear by dilated ileum. The tumor was considered to occur from the mesentery, and the iliectomy with the tumor was completed. It was suggested that ileus occurred in the early stage because the tumor was located just by the ileum.

The authors describe a 3-day-old newborn admitted with signs of intestinal obstruction caused by solitary intestinal fibromatosis (SIF). This is a very rare lesion, which has an excellent prognosis. The differential diagnosis of bilious vomiting in a neonate caused by other than tumorous processes in the neonatal intestine is extensive. Probably this kind of lesion is more frequent in the neonatal period than thought until now but underdiagnosed because of the difficulty of diagnosis. Therapy of choice is wide local excision, and prognosis is excellent.

Neonatal intestinal obstruction due to a tumour is rare. We report a six-day-old male neonate who presented with abdominal distension and vomiting. Laparotomy revealed colonic obstruction caused by a stenosing fibrotic lesion in the proximal transverse colon. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed fibromatosis. We believe this represents the third reported case of solitary colonic fibromatosis. The literature on neonatal intestinal fibromatosis is reviewed.

Intraabdominal fibromatosis is an uncommon neoplasm. The aggressive nature of these tumors and the potential for major morbidity secondary to resection can present a difficult surgical dilemma. A 9-year-old boy presented with anemia and vomiting. He had esophagogastric fibromatosis diagnosed and underwent distal esophagectomy, total gastrectomy, Hunt-Lawrence jejunal pouch, and Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. This report describes the successful surgical management of an esophagogastric fibromatosis for the first time in the English-language literature. The management of this tumor is discussed with particular regard to the very unusual clinical presentation.

Fibromatosis, or extra-abdominal desmoid tumor, is a benign disease which often has an aggressive clinical course that can be difficult to treat. We performed a retrospective review of 16 patients (12 females and four males) with a mean age of 34.2 years treated with methotrexate and vinblastine for newly diagnosed or recurrent extra-abdominal desmoid tumor. The mean age of our patient cohort was 34.2 years (range 11-70), and the mean tumor size was 11.5 cm (range 2.5-21.2 cm). The mean duration of therapy was 12 months with an average follow-up of 43 months (range 1-149 months). Fourteen of 16 patients demonstrated a clinical response to treatment. Eight of 14 patients demonstrated a radiologic decrease in tumor size. Only one patient progressed on therapy. Six patients developed recurrent symptoms after discontinuation of treatment. Chemotherapy-related symptoms including neutropenia, nausea, and vomiting were common and observed in most patients, however these side effects were mild and transient. Five patients developed peripheral neuropathy that prompted a change from vinblastine to vinorelbine during treatment. One potentially life-threatening complication (pneumocystis pneumonia) occurred which was diagnosed early and successfully treated. The use of methotrexate and vinblastine/vinorelbine in the management of fibromatosis appears to be an effective treatment with minimal treatment-related side effects.

Patients with mesenteric fibromatosis (MF) are clinically asymptomatic, with little or no focal symptoms until later in their course, at which time they complain of pain, abdominal discomfort, constipation, vomiting, abdominal mass, weight loss, and symptoms due to organ compression. Generally, it occurs as an abdominal mass but may also present in many different ways. In some cases, trauma, previous abdominal surgery, and hormonal stimulation (such as estrogen) may play a role in onset of this neoplasm. Patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome present primary amenorrhea and may have some other anomalies, including hearing defects, heart defects, skeletal deformities, and genital neoplastic diseases. We diagnosed duodenal obstruction due to MF in a patient with type I Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.
