Omentum Cancer: Insights into Enigmatic Peritoneal Malignancy

Ann Jose

Omentum cancer, also known as omental metastasis, represents a complex and challenging aspect of peritoneal malignancies. This abstract provides an overview of omentum cancer, its etiology, and clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment modalities. Omentum cancer occurs as a result of secondary involvement of the omentum by various primary cancers, with ovarian and colorectal cancer being the most common sources. This condition often presents with non-specific symptoms, making early diagnosis a formidable task. Imaging studies, such as computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), play a pivotal role in detecting omental lesions. The treatment of omentum cancer is multifaceted and typically involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies.
