Very few cases of heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO) have been reported in literature. This benign growth of bony tissue in the mesentery of the small or large bowel appears to follow repetitive or severe abdominal injuries.

Buschke-Lowenstein tumors are very large, fungating masses usually in the perineal region and are associated with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There have been many cases of large masses requiring excision, but on our literature review we were not able to find any that underwent partial closure with a scrotal advancement flap.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
