Heterotopic mesenteric ossification: Report of two cases with review of the literature
Journal Title: Journal of Modern Human Pathology - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Very few cases of heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO) have been reported in the literature. We describe two cases, one at an early phase and the other at a more advanced stage of the disease. Both patients developed HMO after multiple major abdominal surgeries. The value of monitoring serum alkaline phosphatase and calcium in a setting of previous abdominal surgery or trauma along with other clinical, radiological and pathologic findings is discussed.
