We report a case of giant PLB (GPLB) confirmed by exploratory laparoscopy. A 46-year-old man was admitted to hospital with an abdominal mass and urinary frequency. He underwent clinical and laboratory tests and computed tomography (CT), which indicated a lesion at the bottom of the bladder. Exploratory laparoscopic surgery revealed a GPLB, which was subsequently removed. The patient was comfortable after surgery and was discharged 3 days later. His symptoms of frequent urination improved during the 1-month follow-up period. The egg-shaped mass excised from the peritoneal cavity measured 45\u2009\u00d7\u200940\u2009\u00d7\u200933\u2009mm. This case indicates that exploratory laparoscopy can be considered as the first-choice diagnostic procedure for patients with GPLB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0300060520954714","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,25]],"date-time":"2020-10-25T23:45:50Z","timestamp":1603669550000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Exploratory laparoscopy as first choice procedure for the diagnosis of giant peritoneal loose body: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"RuiBin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, BaoTou, Inner Mongolia, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2258-2470","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"ZhiHeng","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, BaoTou, Inner Mongolia, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"HaoTian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, BaoTou, Inner Mongolia, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2020.06.040"},{"key":"bibr2-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.08.033"},{"key":"bibr3-0300060520954714","first-page":"187","volume":"8","author":"Makineni H","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Clin Diagn Res"},{"key":"bibr4-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4132\/KoreanJPathol.2013.47.4.378"},{"key":"bibr5-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr\/98708052"},{"key":"bibr6-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2016.02.013"},{"key":"bibr7-0300060520954714","first-page":"53","volume":"54","author":"Rosic T","year":"2016","journal-title":"S Afr J Surg"},{"key":"bibr8-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMicm1316094"},{"key":"bibr9-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00595-003-2573-8"},{"key":"bibr10-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12957-015-0539-0"},{"key":"bibr11-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gassur.2005.05.003"},{"key":"bibr12-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3393\/jksc.2012.28.2.108"},{"key":"bibr13-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2169\/internalmedicine.51.8050"},{"key":"bibr14-0300060520954714","first-page":"441","volume":"82","author":"Baert L","year":"2019","journal-title":"Acta Gastroenterol Belg"},{"key":"bibr15-0300060520954714","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.05.004"}],"container-title":["Journal of International Medical Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0300060520954714","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0300060520954714","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0300060520954714","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T10:46:10Z","timestamp":1777459570000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0300060520954714"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0300060520954714"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0300060520954714","relation":{},"ISSN":["0300-0605","1473-2300"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0300-0605","type":"print"},{"value":"1473-2300","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]},"article-number":"0300060520954714"}}
