In a 55-yr-old male, a nodular mass of heterotopic ossification developed in the intestinal mesentery 2 wk after coloprotectomy for severe ulcerative colitis. The lesion was located close to the ileostoma, where it encroached on the intestinal wall and led to luminal obstruction. Histological examination of the tumor mass showed actively proliferating mesenchymal cells forming irregular areas of primitive osteoid and bone. The process appeared consistent with an early stage of heterotopic ossification, where the short history explains the absence of the zone phenomenon usually characterizing such lesions. By reviewing the literature, the reported case appears unique as other cases of intraabdominal heterotopic ossification have not been encountered.
