摘　　要：BACKGROUND Heterotopic mesenteric ossification(HMO)is a clinically rare condition characterized by the formation of bone tissue in the mesentery.The worldwide reporting of such cases is limited to just over 70 instances in the medical literature.The etiology of HMO remains unclear,but the disease is possibly induced by mechanical trauma,ischemia,or intra-left lower quadrant abdominal infection,leading to the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts.Here,we present a rare case of HMO that occurred in a 34-year-old male,who presented with left lower quadrant abdominal pain.CASE SUMMARY We report the case of a 34-year-old male patient who presented with left lower abdominal pain following trauma to the left lower abdomen.He subsequently underwent surgical treatment,and the postoperative pathological diagnosis was HMO.CONCLUSION We believe that although there is limited literature and research on HMO,when patients with a history of trauma or surgery to the left lower abdomen present with corresponding imaging findings,clinicians should be vigilant in distinguishing this condition and promptly selecting appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
