[A case of solid tumor of the small omentum (author's transl)].
With regards to an observation of a solid tumor of the small "epiploon", the authors recall the exceptionnal character of the primitive small tumors of the "mesenterium". Such cases pose a histological problem because, when dealing with the "mesenterium", the various criteria for benignity or malignity are difficult to appraise due to the peculiar tissue structure. A pre-operative-selective "arteriogram" cannot be dispensed with this type of tumor. Outside of the diagnostic possibilities offered, this "arteriogram" will be the basis for the treatment given since the possibilities of removal are limited by the connection between the tumor and the vessels. Furthermore due to the histological difficulties posed by these tumors it is desirable to treat them as potentially malignant material and include the removal, even if limited, of the corresponding digestive segment.
