Oxalosis is a rare disorder, in which there are widely and evenly spread deposits of oxalate crystals in the kidneys with progressive renal failure. An inborn error of metabolism is the cause of oxalosis. The incidence of this disease in boys and girls is practically equal. Most patients do not survive their 20th year. In our case there were changes in the skeleton and extensive deposits of oxalates in the kidneys.

A rare case of mesenteric fibromatosis observed in a 58 year old woman, repeatedly operated in the abdominal area, with a mesogastric-hypochondriac hard-elastic mass, is presented. Being the cause of the affection still unknown, an abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue induced from chemical-physical injuries is considered at the basis of the clinical entity.
