Abstract
On ultrasound, omentum may be present as discrete nodules or a substantial omental cake. Omental cake appears as a solid mass with a free caudal margin located beneath the parietal peritoneum. The omentum is a common site for neoplastic disease like ovarian, gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and non-neoplastic processes including granulomatous disease. A retrospective study of 50 patients in which all omental biopsies performed under USG guidance in the Department of Radiodiagnosis from September 2017 to August 2018 at IMS & SUM Hospital, Bhubaneswar were reviewed in this study. Out of these, 28 patients (56%) were diagnosed to have malignancies, 15 patients (30%) had granulomatous inflammation either suggestive or conclusive with tuberculosis, 7 (14%) had an inadequate sample for histopathological examination. A thickened omentum can serve as an easily accessible site for biopsy, especially in patients who have ascites of unknown etiology and in those with a history of previous malignancy.
