Omental myxoid hamartomas - A case report with review of literature.

ABSTRACT

Omental mesentric myxoid hamartomas are benign infantile lesions, however they may simulate a malignant tumour both clinically and pathologically. Here, we report the case of an omental myxoid hamartoma in a 10-months old infant which was per operatively suspected to be a malignant retroperitoneal tumour, due to adhesions with the surrounding structures as well as the presence of satellite nodules.
