Objective: The diagnostic value of CT window width technique in primary omentum infarction was evaluated by this study.
Methods: The abdominal CT data of 32 patients with clinically diagnosed abdominal omentum infarction were retrospectively selected and analyzed. The fixed window position was 50 HU, and the window width was 135 HU, 250 HU (abdomen), 350 HU (mediastinum), and 500 HU, respectively. The detection rate of lesions was analyzed and compared.
Results: Window widths of 135 HU, 250 HU (abdomen), 350 HU (mediastinum), and 500 HU have a detection rate of 12.5% (4 cases), 62.5% (20 cases), 100% (32 cases), 100% (32 cases) for abdominal omental lesions, respectively. However, 500 HU showed worse abdominal bowel and parenchymal organs than 350 HU.
Conclusion: According to the comprehensive image quality, the ideal window width for diagnosis of primary omentum infarction is 350HU (mediastinal) window width.

Background: Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma primarily involving the omentum is an extremely rare entity with variable clinical presentation. Owing to its rarity and nonspecific clinical manifestation, omental T-cell lymphoma is often diagnosed at a later stage, riddled with complications. While imaging modalities such as computed tomography scan can help a physician reach a diagnosis, cases that present with complications may require a multidisciplinary approach that combines surgical exploration along with consultation from Oncology.

Omental infarction is a rare but threatening cause of acute abdomen. The preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its infrequent nature. It poses nonspecific abdominal signs that can be easily mistaken for other more common intra-abdominal pathologies.

Article Synopsis
- * A case report describes a 29-year-old male who had laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and developed serious complications like abdominal pain and nausea due to porto-mesenteric venous thrombosis.
- * Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for this rare complication, as symptoms can be non-specific, highlighting the need for careful evaluation and use of computed tomography in similar cases.

Intraperitoneal focal fat infarction (IFFI) is a rare condition characterized by infarction of fatty tissue within the abdominal cavity. Lesser omental infarction, a relatively rare type of IFFI, occurs when there is an infarction of fat within the lesser omentum. Patients typically present with acute abdominal pain that can mimic more serious conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare cancer linked to asbestos exposure, making its diagnosis challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and complicating factors.
- A case of a 71-year-old man with right lower quadrant pain and ascites revealed omental stranding, leading to several imaging tests and a biopsy showing atypical mesothelial growth, but no clear diagnosis initially.
- The conclusion emphasizes the complexity of diagnosing MPM, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach and awareness of biases that can affect clinical evaluations.
