Abdominal examination objectified a painful bulk in this location. Abdominal CT-scan showed a mass surrounded by huge inflammatory changes in the fat tissue (omentum). The patient underwent surgical operation and a 10 centimetres in diameter mass was removed. No postoperative complication was recorded. Conclusions: Histological examination found a necrosed omental lipoma. We discuss the possible diagnosis.
