Rationale:
Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare and locally infiltrative monoclonal fibroblastic proliferation with lack of metastatic potential. We describe a rare case of intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis on young female with hyperemesis.
Patient concerns:
A 23-year-old female was admitted with hyperemesis and loss of weight.
Diagnoses:
According to imaging findings and immunohistology findings, a diagnosis of intra-abdominal aggressive fibromatosis was formulated.
Outcomes:
After the surgery, no evidence of local recurrence was noted during the 6 months of follow-up.
Lessons:
AF may explain why pregnant women may have severe hyperemesis.
