abstract: One hundred and seventy one patients with mesentery tumors confirmed by surgery and/or pathology in five hospitals of Hubei Province from 1966 to 1986 are analyzed retrospectively. The main manifestations were abdominal pain, abdominal mass and emaciation. Cyst and leiomyomas were common in benign tumors. Malignant lymphoma, leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma were predominant in malignant tumors.
