We provide a unique case of report of fibromation of small intestinal ligament in a patient with sigmoid colon cancer. This is the first case that one patient suffered these two kinds of tumor, as far as we know, there is no such case before. Due to his medical history of malignant cancer, so the fibromation of small intestinal ligament was suspected to be a metastatic lesion when it was found by radiologists, so operation had been performed. Finally, it was confirmed by pathological result. After the operation and postoperative chemotherapy, the two masses were removed and the patient had no significant complications, during follow-up, the patient is gradually recovering. In general, the disease should be taking into consideration when patient suffered malignant cancer, although it is very rare. In addition, ultrasound guided biopsy is a feasible method to diagnose the disease.
