Core Tip
Core tip: Fibromatosis can be categorized into two broad categories depending on their localization: superficial and deep (aggressive fibromatosis or desmoid tumor). Desmoid-type fibromatoses can be categorized into three groups depending on their localization, namely extra-abdominal, abdominal wall, and intra-abdominal fibromatosis. Intra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis may develop from the small intestinal mesentery, omentum, retroperitoneum, pelvis, and very rarely, the intestinal wall (such as our case). We aimed to report a case of aggressive fibromatosis originating from the muscularis propria layer of the duodenum and the invading pancreas. Another interesting aspect of this case is that a primary paraduodenal hydatid cyst was incidentally detected.
