[Mesenteric desmoid found after surgery of familial polyposis coli; a case report].
A 51-year-old woman manifested with complaints of an abdominal mass 5 years after colectomy. In comparison with the cases previously reported, this desmoid had lower CT value (20-30 HU), and more vascularity with neovascularization on angiography. These findings seem to reflect the characteristic of much cellularity and malignancy of the desmoid.
