AbstractCalcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare, benign, mesenchymal tumor. It has a slight female predominance, and it can appear in any range of age. It can be in the extremities, neck, and gastrointestinal tract, but it has also been described in other locations. Even though it is a benign lesion, recurrence has been described in some cases in the literature. A free-margin surgical resection is the recommended treatment. We present a 56 -year-old woman who underwent surgery for an intestinal obstruction associated with middle jejunum perforation. Histopathological study described the presence of a calcifying fibrous tumor. Spindle cells were positive for CD34, Factor XIIIa and vimentin. To our knowledge, this is the first case of intestinal perforation secondary to a calcifying fibrous tumor described in the literature.
