Abstract

Free bodies in the peritoneal cavity are solid, very rare and mostly asymptomatic tumors. We present the case of a finding of free body in the peritoneal cavity during appendectomy. Free bodies in the peritoneal cavity are very rare cases reported in the literature, described as giants greater than 5 cm in diameter, predominantly in men over 50 years, with an incidence of man / woman of 17: 3. There is no definite surgical treatment for foreign bodies in the cavity, as most are asymptomatic and mostly identified as a finding. Surgical treatment is reserved for symptomatic cases.
