Solitary intestinal fibromatosis in the newborn. Rare cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction. 1985

F Gonzalez-Crussi, and R Noronha

We describe a case of solitary fibromatosis of the ileum in an infant. Intestinal fibromatosis is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the newborn. The disease is poorly characterized and has been rarely reported under this name. The differential diagnosis is discussed with particular attention to inflammatory fibroid polyps, neurofibromatosis, and sarcoma. Reasons of a theoretical and practical nature are outlined that recommend the term "solitary intestinal fibromatosis" as the most appropriate name for this disease.
