ABSTRACT
Surgical pathology of the greater omentum is very rare and includes torsion, infarction, cysts and tumors. About 85% of cases have been reported in the adult population, the remaining 15% in the pediatric population. Due to nonspecific symptoms, preoperative diagnosis is frequently confused with acute appendicitis because it is the most frequent cause of abdominal pain. This article describes the clinical case of an adult patient with torsion and omentum infarction, who was diagnosed and treated in our hospital by laparoscopic surgery.
