Abstract:
A 26-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain, vomiting, and a palpable mass in the right lower abdomen. Ultrasonography showed a high echogenic mass associated with a small amount of ascites in the right lower abdomen. Computed tomography demonstrated entrapped ileal loops within a thin-walled fibrous capsule. A thin fibrous sac encasing the terminal ileum was detected on laparotomy and confirmed as idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis.
