On mesenteric tumors

The world literature counts not more than 4 - 5 hundreds of mesenteric tumors of different character, most of them are cystic and only about one fourth of them are dense tumors. According to Popov's statistics (from the clinic of Prof. Fedorov) the latter have been published in 134 cases only, including malignant tumors in 75 cases, namely sarcomas in 69 cases and cancers in 6 cases. Among benign tumors, fibromas (28 cases), adenomyomas and neuromas (1 case each) are more common here.
