Zusammenfassung:Focal intraperitoneal fat infarction, e.g. epiploic appendagitis and segmental omentum infarction, may mimic almost every acute abdominal condition. The symptoms of this benign and self-limiting disease will disappear without treatment. The etiology, symptoms, diagnosis (mainly with ultrasound and CT scan) and course of the disease are being described. An atypical case history with uneventful recovery without medical or surgical treatment is presented.
