title: [Fibromatosis of the mesenterium].
abstract: A rare case of mesenteric fibromatosis observed in a 58 year old woman, repeatedly operated in the abdominal area, with a mesogastric-hypochondriac hard-elastic mass, is presented. Being the cause of the affection still unknown, an abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue induced from chemical-physical injuries is considered at the basis of the clinical entity.
