Incidental Heterotopic Mesenteric Ossifications
Abstract
Very few cases of heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO) have been reported in literature. This benign growth of bony tissue in the mesentery of the small or large bowel appears to follow repetitive or severe abdominal injuries. This is a case of a 24-year-old male who developed HMO after multiple surgeries following complications of a diverticular abscess.
