BACKGROUND: The presentation of primary abscess of the greater omentum is similar to other acute abdominal disorders. It is a rarely reported phenomenon, and correct diagnosis is typically made during abdominal exploration. METHODS: Case report and review of pertinent English language literature. RESULTS: In a patient who presented with symptoms consistent with an acute surgical abdomen, an unusual intraabdominal pathogen was found within a primary omental abscess upon abdominal exploration. CONCLUSION: Abdominal exploration and resection is a reasonable approach to primary abscess of the greater omentum. |
