Omentitis

Omentits are mostly caused by various inflammations in the abdominal cavity. Common cases such as tuberculous peritonitis, acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, diverticulitis, and various types of peritonitis can cause inflammation of the omentum, and in severe cases, adhesions can form later. This acute inflammation usually fades as the primary lesion is cured. In addition, there are nonspecific necrotizing lipomas of unknown cause, also known as nonspecific panniculitis.
