Abstract
We report a case of 27 yr old female who presented to the emergency department with complaints of right lower abdominal pain. Clinical examination revealed tenderness in right iliac fossa. Her vital signs and laboratory values were within normal limits. Ultrasound of the abdomen was indicative of probe tenderness in the right iliac fossa ??? appendicitis. She was discharged from the hospital in two days following conservative management. She was again admitted with similar complaints after 10 days. Abdominal examination revealed right iliac fossa pain and computer tomography imaging showed an infarcted omental mass with minimal haemoperitonuem in the pelvis. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed and omental mass excision done and pathologic examination confirmed an omental pregnancy.
