Encapsulated Omental Necrosis as an Unexpected Postoperative Finding: A Case Report
Postsurgical fat necrosis is a frequent finding in abdominal cross-sectional imaging. Epiploic appendagitis and omental infarction are a result of torsion or vascular occlusion. Surgery or pancreatitis are conditions that can have a traumatic and ischemic effect on fatty tissue. The imaging appearan...

description | Postsurgical fat necrosis is a frequent finding in abdominal cross-sectional imaging. Epiploic appendagitis and omental infarction are a result of torsion or vascular occlusion. Surgery or pancreatitis are conditions that can have a traumatic and ischemic effect on fatty tissue. The imaging appearances may raise concerns for recurrent malignancy, but percutaneous biopsy and diagnostic follow-up assist in the accurate diagnosis of omental infarction. Herein we describe a case of encapsulated omental necrosis temporally related to gastric surgery. Preoperative CT and MRI findings showed the characteristics of encapsulated, postcontrast nonviable tumefaction in the epigastrium without clear imaging features of malignancy. Due to the size of the lesion and the patient’s primary disease, tumor recurrence could not be completely ruled out, and the patient underwent surgery. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of steatonecrosis of the omentum. |
