Core Tip
Core Tip: Aggressive fibromatosis (AF) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm that can occur in almost any part of the body. Here, we report the first case of sigmoid colon AF, which was accidentally discovered in a 27-year-old woman during laparoscopic myomectomy. The patient underwent laparoscopic exploration, and sigmoidectomy with a negative margin was performed to excise the mass. Postoperative immunohistochemistry revealed that the mass was an AF. The patient recovered well and was recurrence-free at the 30-month follow-up without adjuvant therapy. AF should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subepithelial colon masses.
