Abstract
Peritoneal loose bodies or peritoneal mice are incidentalomas, found commonly during abdominal surgery,during imaging procedures or autopsy.It arises due to torsion and separation of the appendices epiploicae or due to accumulation of peritoneal serum in the appendices epiploicae.Parasitized peritoneal mice are those which lie loose and later gets attached to omentum, mesentery or to the spleen .We present a case of an incidental parasitized peritoneal loose body in a 49 yr old female who was operated for distal common bile duct growth with obstructive jaundice.
