It is a self-limiting entity with clinical features similar to other inflammatory abdominal processes and sometimes not remembered at clinical examinations. The awareness of this entity and its correct identification on imaging examinations could prevent unnecessary surgery. The authors present a clinical case complemented with ultrasound and CT images of this entity.
