title: Solitary intestinal fibromatosis associated with congenital ileal atresia.
abstract: We report for the first time an association between congenital solitary intestinal fibromatosis and intestinal atresia. The spindle cell proliferation showed a high apoptotic index contrasting with a low proliferation rate, suggesting that the tumor may have undergone focal and spontaneous regression, leading to intestinal atresia.
