abstract: We report a case of heterotopic bone formation in the mesentery. A 64-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and stiffness two months after undergoing several surgical interventions for hemorrhagic colitis. The diagnosis was heterotopic mesenteric ossification. We describe the imaging findings and review the literature.
