“…These large peritoneal loose bodies are often also asymptomatic, but might be associated with chronic symptoms, mainly abdominal pain. Rare cases of acute urinary retention and small bowel obstruction have been described and are likely to be due to extrinsic compression [2][3][4].…”

ABSTRACT. We report a case of a large peritoneal loose body (LPLB), diagnosed on CT. The loose body appeared as a round pelvic mass with central calcifications and a distinct fat plane separating it from adjacent organs. The mass changed its location from the left to the right side of the pelvis within 9 days on repeat imaging. The typical cross-sectional characteristics of a LPLB include a mobile well-circumscribed soft-tissue mass usually with coarse central calcifications. The accurate diagnosis of a LPLB is vital to prevent unnecessary surgical intervention in an asymptomatic patient with an incidentally discovered LPLB.

“…Exact etiopathogenesis is not known but the most common origin of these bodies are infracted appendices epiploicae that get detached and lie loose in the peritoneum and get saponified and later calcification occur [1,2]. These loose bodies are usually incidental findings that do not require any specific treatment until they become complicated [3][4][5][6].…”

Peritoneal loose bodies, or peritoneal mice, are rare asymptomatic lesions that are usually found as an incidental finding during abdominal surgery or autopsy. Giant peritoneal loose bodies are rare. Giant loose bodies, measuring more than 5 cm, are rare and only a few cases are reported in the literature. These bodies are usually infarcted appendices epiploicae, which become detached and appear as a peritoneal loose body in the abdominal cavity. We present a rare case large peritoneal loose body "peritoneal mice" found during a laparoscopic abdominal surgery in a 70 years old male patient. Usually these peritoneal loose bodies are left untreated until complication arises.

“…7 Peritoneal loose bodies have been described as cause for intestinal obstruction or urinary retention depending on their size and intra-abdominal localization. 8,9 Peritoneal loose bodies are also found from subacute attacks of pancreatitis 10 . They typically have fat attenuation and cannot be distinguished from other adipose structure.…”
