Abstract Peritoneal loose body (PLB) is a rare clinical entity. It is generally agreed that the most common origin of the loose bodies is appendix epiploica. We here report a case of PLB that looks like a “boiled egg,” which was misdiagnosed preoperatively as a lesion of hepatic origin and was confirmed by operation and postoperative pathology. PLBs are rare entities, a good understanding of their specific imaging features can help prevent misdiagnosis, but sometimes an accurate preoperative diagnosis is still difficult to achieve. Exploratory laparoscopy is a recommended method for management of PLBs.

Summary: A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with pre-fibrotic myelofibrosis after acute left lower-limb ischemia requiring amputation and portal vein thrombosis. After surgery he developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with venous thromboembolism, successfully treated with argatroban followed by dabigatran. Our systematic review of the literature supports the use of dabigatran for suspected HIT.
