title: Mesenteric inflammatory pseudo-tumour of the small intestine presenting with intestinal obstruction in a child: case report and literature review.
abstract: We report a case of mesenteric inflammatory pseudo-tumour of the small intestine in a 4-year-old boy admitted with intestinal obstruction diagnosed from histopathology of 8 cm × 7 cm × 5 cm mass resected at laparotomy. We reviewed the literature and recommended complete resection with thorough histopathologic evaluation and long-term follow-up.
