Abstract
Infarction of an appendix epiploica is a rare event that is seldom diagnosed preoperatively. Report herein is a case of a 76-year-old male complaining of abdominal pain. The etiology of this pain was unclear but the diagnosis of epiploitis was preoperatively suspected. The infarcted epiploic appendix was identified and resected laparoscopically.Keywords
