[A case of lipoma in the small intestinal mesentery diagnosed as an ovarian tumor].

A rare case is described of primary benign tumour of small intestine mesentery misdiagnosed as ovarian tumour. The diagnostic difficulties are presented resulting from small number or total absence of symptoms characteristic of this type of disease and from the demonstrated in gynaecological examination connection of the lesion with the genitals. The proper diagnosis is established usually during surgical operation, the extent of which depends on the vascularization of the tumour and on its connection with intestinal wall.
