Abstract:
Mesenteric desmoid tumor is an uncommon neoplasm. It is usually asymptomatic or diagnosed as a painful mass. Typically, it presents as a solid soft-tissue mass on cross-sectional imaging. Complications such as infection remains exceptional. Through this manuscript, we report the case of an acute appendicitis fistulized in a mesenteric desmoid tumor, mimicking an appendicular abscess. We report such an unusual case with clinicopathological correlation.
