Abstract:
A patient admitted repetitively for vomiting was found to have a radiologic abnormality in the lesser sac, initially interpreted as a pancreatic mass. At exploration, intestinal obstruction due to transmesocolonic herniation of the jejunum explained both the symptoms and the radiologic finding.
