【 摘 要 】

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a recently recognized rare benign lesion characterized by dense hyalinized collagenous tissue with interspersed spindle cells and a lymphoplasmocytic infiltrate. Calcification is the hallmark of CFT and may present in the form of psammomatous bodies or dystrophic calcifications. CFT of the intestinal tract is uncommon and rectal CFT has never been reported. Recently, we experienced a case of CFT found in the rectum of a 36-year-old man. In this study, we described the characteristic histopathological findings with a review of the relevant literature. Although CFT of the intestinal tract as an intrinsic visceral lesion is unusual and clinically unexpected, CFT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of rectal submucosal tumor.
