Abstract

A 50-year-old male patient was referred to Department of Radiodiagnosis for evaluation of a longstanding intermittent abdominal pain associated with a palpable mass migrating in different quadrants of the abdomen and had gradually increased in size over last few years. The initial ultrasonographic (USG) evaluation revealed a well circumscribed bilobed hypoechoic pelvic solid space occupying lesion (SOL) with central calcific foci. Subsequent contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) imaging showed a 10.1 x 7.5 x 5.8 cm, bilobed non-enhancing pelvic mass with central dense calcific foci and concentric soft tissue layers of different attenuation. The mass was diagnosed to be a giant peritoneal loose body (gPLB) and confirmed by surgical exploration.
