Abstract

INTRODUCTION Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor is a rare benign lesion with few peritoneal and mesenteric cases in pediatric population described. Its course is mainly asymptomatic, which is why diagnosis corresponds mostly to incidental findings. CLINICAL CASE Authors present the case of a 9-year-old patient with abdominal pain, and intra-abdominal mass finding in abdominal tomography. The histopathological study realized established diagnosis of calcifying fibrous pseudotumor, which is why programmed resection of the mass was performed by laparotomy. Follow-up was performed during one year, without evidence of recurrences through ecography. COMMENTS Authors discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in this patient compared to that described in the literature.
