Anterior abdominal wall fibromatosis is a benign soft tissue tumor that is rare, but fast-growing with minimal chances of malignant change. We report a young female with a large abdominal swelling which on evaluation was provisionally diagnosed as anterior abdominal wall fibromatosis on imaging and confirmed by histopathology. She was successfully managed with resection of the tumor with a challenging abdominal wall reconstruction with bilateral inferiorly based external oblique muscle flap followed by a mesh repair. Though rare, these tumors are difficult to miss. The importance of this case report is that it describes the methods of multimodal management of a patient with surgery, reconstruction, and adjuvant therapy leading to better patient outcomes.
腹壁纤维瘤病是一种罕见的良性软组织肿瘤,但生长迅速,恶变几率极小。我们报告了一名年轻女性,她腹部有巨大肿块,经评估,影像学检查初步诊断为腹壁纤维瘤病,组织病理学检查予以确诊。通过切除肿瘤并采用具有挑战性的腹壁重建术(双侧下蒂腹外斜肌瓣)及随后的补片修补,她得到了成功治疗。尽管这些肿瘤罕见,但很难漏诊。本病例报告的重要性在于它描述了对患者进行手术、重建及辅助治疗的多模式管理方法,从而带来更好的患者预后。
