(a and b) An abdominal transaxial computed tomography scan showed a whirling oval-shaped fatty mass between the left hepatic lobe and lesser gastric curvature (white arrow); and (c) an abdominal coronal computed tomography scan showed an oval-shaped fatty mass containing hyperattenuating streaks (white arrow). (d) Laparoscopy demonstrated a well-encapsulated, inflammatory soft tissue structure originating from the lesser omentum with ischemic changes occupying the right subhepatic area. A twisted omental pedicle was seen immediately below the left hepatic lobe.
