Abstract
Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare benign tumor of mesenchymal origin that may develop in several sites in the body, including the gastrointestinal tract. CFTs could present with clinical symptoms or remain asymptomatic. We report a rare case of CFT located at the jejunal mesentery and attached to a mesenteric band causing small bowel obstruction. This case is distinctive due to the presence of a mesenteric CFT combined with a mesenteric band, causing constriction of the small bowel. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature to report a congenital band associated with CFT. The mass was surgically removed, and the band was released and ligated.
