Abstract

Neoplastic infiltration of the omentum is mostly caused by metastatic ovarian, gastric, colon, or pancreatic cancer. Lymphomatous infiltration of the omentum is rare because the omentum lacks a lymphoid component. To date, lymphomatous involvement of the omentum has only been reported in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Peritoneal lymphomatosis remains a rare presentation of malignant lymphoma characterized by diffuse peritoneal lesions and is frequently accompanied by ascites and mesenteric lesions. In this review, we aimed to illustrate the case of a 72 year old mal patient diagnosed with aggressive large B-cell lymphoma, adressed for initial extension assessment in whom 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomograph/computed tomography (PET/CT) found unusual omental and mesenteric involvement.
