Ultrasound evaluation of epigrastic area shows a hyperechoic lesion (arrow) between the left hepatic lobe (L) and the stomach (S). This lesion was painful and noncompressible. P: Pancreas; A: Aorta; IVC: Inferior Vena...
Area of Interest:Abdomen; Imaging Technique:Ultrasound; Procedure:Diagnostic procedure; Special Focus:Inflammation;

Abdominal Ultrasound
On ultrasound the echogenic aspect of the lesion (arrow) is suggestive of being lipomatous, and it cannot be easily discriminated from the adjacent hyperechoic pancreas (P).
Area of Interest:Abdomen; Imaging Technique:Ultrasound; Procedure:Diagnostic procedure; Special Focus:Tissue characterisation;

Colour Doppler Ultrasound
No vascular flow is present within the lesion on colour Doppler ultrasound examination.
Area of Interest:Abdomen; Imaging Technique:Ultrasound-Colour Doppler; Procedure:Diagnostic procedure; Special Focus:Inflammation;

High-resolution Ultrasound
High-resolution probe ultrasound evaluation shows attenuation on the posterior aspect of the lesion (*).

Axial contrast-enhanced CT (soft tissue window)
A fatty lesion (arrow) with hyperattenuating streaks is seen between the left hepatic lobe and the lesser gastric curvature.
Area of Interest:Abdomen; Imaging Technique:CT; Procedure:Diagnostic procedure; Special Focus:Ischaemia / Infarction;
The lesion shows mass effect on lesser gastric curvature and is situated between the liver (L) and the stomach (S), an area that corresponds to the lesser omentum.
Area of Interest:Abdomen; Imaging Technique:CT; Procedure:Diagnostic procedure; Special Focus:Ischaemia / Infarction;
The hyperattenuating lesion on a sagittal view (arrow). Also small amount of free fluid is seen in the Douglas pouch (*).
