BackgroundPrimer epiploic appendagitis (PEA) is an uncommon condition.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical records and computed tomography (CT) findings of 45 patients with PEA.ResultsOn the basis of physical examination and pain localization, presumptive clinical diagnosis was acute appendicitis (n=13), acute cholecystitis (n=2), acute diverticulitis (n=19), renal colic (n=7) and ovarian pathology (n=4).ConclusionAlthough it has no characteristic clinical and laboratory features, CT is the best modality for accurate diagnosis of PEA.
