ABSTRACT
Primary heterotopic ossification has been previously noted in abdominal laparotomy scars, but the presence of ectopic bone within the peritoneum is extremely rare and chracterized by new bone formation in a tissue which does not normally undergo ossification. Our patient in a 59-year-old man who underwent operation for acute cholecystitis had formation of heterotopic bone involving mesentery of intestine. The features of various types of ectopic calcification are discussed, and several theories concerning the pathogenesis and treatment of heterotopic ossification are examined.
