Abstract

A calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a benign fibroblastic tumor of soft tissues occurring at all ages with no gender predilection. Earlier, it was called a pseudotumor. It may or may not present with symptoms. It can occur anywhere in the body - the most common sites are the stomach, pleura, and intestines. Our study is presented as a case of Intussusception in a young male with symptoms of pain, abdomen, and nausea. The patient underwent an excision of the tumor, and the tumor was examined histo-pathologically and immunohistochemically, showing spindle-shaped cells in dense collagenous tissue with mild inflammation. In this case, a study we are explaining the Clinical and morphological features of the CFT and how to differentiate it from other mesenchymal tumors.

Keywords: calcified fibrous tumor; jejunum; leiomyoma; mesenchymal tumor; pseudotumor.
