Summary

A young male presented with abdominal distension, initially diagnosed as ascites. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed abdominal lipomatosis, excessive fatty tissue in the abdominal cavity, which was further verified during surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Abdominal distension is a common clinical presentation with diverse etiologies.
  • Ascites, the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, is a frequent differential diagnosis for abdominal enlargement.
  • Abdominal lipomatosis, characterized by excessive intra-abdominal adipose tissue, is a rare condition often presenting with non-specific symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 22-year-old male experienced progressive abdominal distension.
  • Clinical examination suggested ascites as the primary diagnosis.
  • Computed tomography (CT) revealed extensive fatty tissue accumulation within the abdominal cavity.

Findings:

  • The CT findings were consistent with abdominal lipomatosis.

  • Surgical exploration (laparotomy) confirmed the diagnosis of abdominal lipomatosis.
  • This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in differentiating rare causes of abdominal distension.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of abdominal lipomatosis is crucial for appropriate management.
    • CT imaging plays a vital role in identifying excessive intra-abdominal fat.
    • This case underscores the need to consider rare diagnoses in patients with unexplained abdominal enlargement.
