@entity1418 ( @entity1418 ) is a soft-tissue @entity242 originating from fibroblast cells, characterized by a high rate of @entity3 or recurrence. This @entity5 rarely develops in the gastrointestinal tract, with no more than 30 cases described in the literature. We report a case of @entity1418 of the abdominal cavity in a 45-year-old @entity1 who presented with @entity158 , @entity448 , and @entity353 . A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed multiple solid @entity5 in the peritoneal cavity. We performed exploratory laparotomy and found at least 15 solid whitish @entity5 attached to the wall of the small intestine, as well as to the parietal peritoneum. There were three metastases in the liver. All of the @entity5 were excised, most of which were about 10 cm in diameter. Histopathological findings indicated a @entity5 consisting of spindle cells, and immunohistochemical examination of the resected specimens established the definite diagnosis of a @entity1418 . The @entity1 had an uneventful postoperative course and was given adjuvant chemotherapy. She is currently well 2 years after her operation. We review the clinical picture of this @entity5 in the abdominal cavity, and discuss its diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment.
