Preoperatively the patient was assessed with an analytic panel and computed tomography (CT) that showed calcifications with linear morphology of the adipose and muscular planes near the ostomy, which prolonged to the mesenteric fat and peritoneal peritoneum in the middle line (Fig. 1). Intraoperatively we found bone formations in the abdominal wall above the scar, as well as within the mesentery, compatible with the CT scan findings (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).
