Associated with constipation and nausea for once. Computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast was performed showing an ovoid fat structure with thin enhancing rim and surrounding inflammatory stranding as well as prominent lymph nodes at hepatic flexure, free fluid and no evidence of appendicitis. The patient was discharged with pain control medications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Epiploic Appendages are mobile, pedunculated peritoneal out pouches. Considering its mobility and narrow pedicle appendages are disposed to torsion leading to appendagitis causing local inflammation, peritoneal irritation, acute ischemia, and fat necrosis. The patient\u2019s main complaint would be a subacute lower abdominal pain, left-sided in 60\u201380% of cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Early recognition of this condition is crucial to avoid an operation when unnecessary leading to prolonged hospital stays.
