Core Tip	Due to the rarity of heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO), diagnosing this condition challenging. We report the case of a 34-year-old male who presented with left lower quadrant abdominal pain following left lower quadrant abdominal trauma, subsequently underwent laparoscopic resection for suspected bowel injury, and was ultimately diagnosed with HMO. We believe that although diagnosing HMO is challenging, the disease should be considered in patients with a history of trauma or surgery and corresponding imaging findings.
