Abstract

We report a case of omental cyst in an 11‐month‐old infant. The cyst occupied nearly the whole abdomen and mimicked massive ascites on sonography. The correct preoperative diagnosis was achieved through the use of CT, and partial torsion of a huge omental cyst was found at surgery. The diagnostic role of sonography and CT in ascites of unknown etiology is emphasized. Β© 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2006.
