Computed tomography findings of primary epiploic appendagitis as an easily misdiagnosed entity: Case series and review of literature.
Turkish Journal of Trauma & Emergency Surgery : TJTES 2017 November
BACKGROUND: Primer epiploic appendagitis (PEA) is an uncommon condition.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records and computed tomography (CT) findings of 45 patients with PEA.
RESULTS: On the basis of physical examination and pain localization, presumptive clinical diagnosis was acute appendicitis (n=13), acute cholecystitis (n=2), acute diverticulitis (n=19), renal colic (n=7) and ovarian pathology (n=4).
CONCLUSION: Although it has no characteristic clinical and laboratory features, CT is the best modality for accurate diagnosis of PEA.
