Abstract

A lesser omental cyst is a rare entity that commonly presents as an abdominal lump. Its incidence is more in the pediatric age group than in adults. In adults, females are affected more than males. Ultrasonography abdomen and CT scans are mainly the tools for pre-operative diagnosis of omental cysts. Complete excision is the treatment of choice for omental cysts. Recurrence and malignant transformation are rare complications. We report a 45-year-old lady who presented with abdominal lump. CECT whole abdomen was done pre-operatively. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and an omental cyst was diagnosed intra-operatively. Complete excision was done and post-operative histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.
