Omental cake
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In radiology, omental cake is sign indicative of an abnormally thickened greater omentum.[1] It refers to infiltration of the omental fat by material of soft-tissue density. Typically, it is caused by infiltration of metastatic tumours arising from the stomach, ovary, or colon. It can also result from tuberculous peritonitis.[2] Another cause is lymphoma, in which omental caking is usually associated lymphadenopathy.[3]
