Fibromatosis is a group of relatively uncommon benign diseases showing proliferation of fibrous tissues and is liable to be confused with fibrosarcoma, thereby causing diagnostic as well as therapeutic dilemmas. Even after the correct diagnosis is made, one is not sure about the most effective treatment is in a given setting. Surgery seems to provide the best results but is not feasible at many times due to the extent of the disease, hence the need for non-surgical modalities for unresectable and incompletely resected tumors. Mesenteric fibromatosis is one of the rarer forms of fibromatosis. Three such cases are being presented here with a brief review of the literature.
