A Pelvic Free-Floating “Intraperitoneal Mice” Mimicking Seminal Vesicle Malignancy: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peritoneal loose bodies or “peritoneal mice” are rare well circumscribed benign masses composed of free-floating organized fat necrosis. They are usually asymptomatic and found as “incidentalomas” during Imaging. Their pathogenesis is not well known. We report a rare case of giant intraperitoneal mice which was clinically misdiagnosed as left seminal vesicle malignancy. A review of the literature is also presented.
