Glomus tumor of the mesocolon

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2005
Glomus tumors are rare distinctive benign neoplasms, which arise from modified smooth muscle cells of the normal glomus body and are most commonly located in the subungual region of the finger. Intraabdominal locations are relatively rare. We report a case of glomus tumor of the mesocolon in a 10-year-old girl.

The mesocolon: a prospective observational study

Colorectal Disease, 2012
AbstractAim The aim of this study was to characterize formally the mesocolic anatomy during and following total mesocolic excision. Total mesocolic excision may improve survival in patients with colon cancer. Although this requires a detailed knowledge of normal and variant mesocolic anatomy, the latter is poorly characterized.

Persistent Descending Mesocolon

Radiology, 1966
The entity, persistent descending mesocolon, although commonly known to European radiologists and frequently noted in their literature, has not previously been discussed in the American radiologic literature (5). This developmental anomaly is characterized by failure of fusion of the mesentery of the left side of the colon with the posterior and ...

Leiomyosarcoma of the Mesocolon

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 1998
Retroperitoneal sarcomas are rare tumours. Although exceptional in the mesocolon, they can yet be considered as a special kind of retroperitoneal tumours. Leiomyosarcoma represents from 25 to 30% in this location. Clinical features are rarely obvious because the symptomatology depends upon displaced or compressed adjacent organs.

Actinomycosis of the transverse mesocolon

The American Journal of Surgery, 1971
Abstract 1. 1. In the vast majority of cases of abdominal actinomycosis, the infection is secondary to perforative gastrointestinal disease. 2. 2. A case is presented of primary actinomycosis of the transverse mesocolon without evidence of pre-existing colonic disease or a break in continuity of the underlying colonic mucous membrane.

Total Mesocolon Examination in Colon Cancer

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2017
We read with interest the article by Bertelsen et al1 concerning the mesocolic lymph node excision. We think that, in the case of colon cancers, a complete histological examination of the entire mesocolon allows for the discovery of important features of its secondary pathology. Following this policy in 400 consecutive cases of T2 and T3 colon cancers,

Internal herniation involving the sigmoid mesocolon

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1981
Two cases of internal hernia involving the sigmoid colon are reported. Comparison of their presentations and operative findings are made. Both highlight the need to be aware of the dangers of internal herniation and the consideration of such diagnoses in the patient who has no external hernia or previous history of abdominal operations.

Spontaneous hematoma of the mesocolon.

Chirurgia italiana, 2005
Spontaneous hematoma of the mesocolon is a rare condition, mainly due to the rupture of a colic artery aneurysm. The authors report on two cases of spontaneous hematoma of the mesocolon and examine the relevant literature. The clinical presentation in our patients was, as indicated in the literature, non-specific, with the occurrence of acute abdomen ...

[Ewing sarcoma of the mesocolon].

Gastroenterologie clinique et biologique, 2007
This case-report studies the clinical, radiological, anatomopatholo-gical and therapeutic aspects of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNET). PNET are neoplasms with a similar histology to tumours in the Ewing family. Diagnosis requires histopathology, immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic studies.
