title: [Heterotopic mesenteric ossification: a rare cause of postoperative occlusion].
abstract: Intraabdominal heterotopic ossification is a very rare lesion, especially in the mesentery. In all reported series, there was a history of traumatic injury of the abdomen. We report two cases of heterotopic mesenteric ossification occurring after laparotomy in adults.
