Peritoneal loose bodies are usually incidental findings at laparotomy. Their sizes range from that of a pea to giant loose bodies. We report a case of giant loose peritoneal body measuring 5x 4 cm found incidentally in a 67 year old man. Mobile pelvic masses are extremely rare findings. They are usually located in the pelvic cavity due to the fact that they gravitate to the most dependent part of the pelvic cavity. Usually these peritoneal loose bodies are left untreated until complications arise. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v3i6.9005   Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2013) Vol. 3, 512-514

Abstract Background Pisotriquetral (PT) loose bodies have been described in the literature only a few times as case reports. While PT pathology remains the differential for ulnar-sided wrist pain, it can often be difficult to diagnose, as symptoms can be variable and radiographic imaging may be negative for any findings. Case Description A 24-year-old major league baseball player presented with pain and locking of his wrist during follow through of his bat swing. Plain radiographic imaging, as well as computed tomography (CT) imaging, was negative for any pathology. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a loose body which entered the PT joint when the wrist was moved into a flexed position. This caused entrapment of the loose body and locking of the wrist. Literature Review A total of 17 reported patients in the literature have been diagnosed with a PT loose body. The clinical examination findings, radiographic findings, and surgical findings are reviewed. Case Relevance PT loose bodies can present a challenging clinical picture to diagnose. The purpose of this case report is to review the appropriate clinical workup, including common examination findings and advanced imaging techniques, to help the clinician with the diagnosis.

High Index Of Suspicion

Background: Peritoneal loose bodies are rare lesions that are usually found as an incidental finding during abdominal surgery. Large loose bodies, measuring more than 5 cm, are rare and only a few cases are reported in the literature. Peritoneal loose bodies are usually infarcted appendices epiploicae, which become detached and appear as a peritoneal loose body in the abdominal cavity.Case Presentation: We report here the first case, in the local Ethiopian context, of a giant “egg-like” loose peritoneal body measuring 7 × 6 cm found in a 50-year-old man who presented with a cramping abdominal pain and features of abdominal obstruction. The current hypothesis as regards these bodies and the diagnostic challenges is discussed.Conclusion: Small peritoneal loose bodies are common but giant and symptomatic ones’, like the one discussed here, are very rare and a diagnostic challenge. And, in the context of intestinal obstruction, a high index of suspicion is needed in order to diagnose them.

Proper Diagnosis

Peritoneal loose bodies are usually diagnosed incidentally. Only a few cases are documented in the literature. The pathophysiology of this condition is not fully known and its origin may possibly be related to the twisting and separation of epiploic appendages. The authors describe the case of a patient with a spherical solid lesion 6 cm in diameter, identified incidentally in the pelvic cavity of a 64 year old man. The patient underwent laparotomy and a free ovoid shaped white body was identified. Histological examination described a calcified and encapsulated mass with a steato-necrosis core. A review of all cases of giant peritoneal loose bodies described in the literature is included. Surgical excision is recommended when the giant peritoneal loose body diagnosis is uncertain or when they are symptomatic. Doctors should be aware of its existence in order to establish a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

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.
