ABSTRACT
The greater omentum primary malignant tumors are rare, with less than 50 cases reported. Malignant hemangiopericytomas constitute only four of these cases. The common clinical manifestations of a malignant omental tumor are abdominal mass and pain. We report on a woman 38 years old who came to the hospital's emergency department with a finding consisting of intestinal obstruction (abdominal pain, constipation, abdominal distention, and vomiting), and during a clinical examination a mass was discovered in the lower half of her abdomen. She had been experiencing these symptoms for three days before her arrival. During a clinical examination, a large size, hard mobile mass was discovered in the lower half of her abdomen. The patient underwent an abdominal CT scan which indicated the presence of a sizable, soft tissue mass located within the abdominal and pelvic region, exerting pressure on the small bowel loops, with mild free ascites. Due to the patient's acute abdomen, an exploration laparotomy was performed, revealing a large mass in the omentum measuring 20×20×10 cm and weighing 3 kg. The mass, along with the omentum, was completely removed, and histopathology confirmed a malignant hemangiopericytoma.
