Dr. D. K. Umashankar, Dr. Prof. Upendra Nath

Abstract :

Peritoneal loose bodies are rare, found incidentally. The patients are usually asymptomatic. These bodies are found usually during abdominal surgeries or during autopsy. Giant peritoneal loose bodies are rare. Giant loose bodies, measuring more than 5 cm, are rare and only a few cases are reported in the literature. Peritoneal loose bodies arise due to torsion and separation of the appendices epiploicae or due to accumulation of peri¬toneal serum in the appendices epiploicae. We present a rare case large peritoneal loose body �peritoneal mice� found during a exploratory abdominal surgery in a 55 years old male patient.
