title: [A young woman with acute abdominal pain].
abstract: A 21-year-old woman reported to the first aid with acute pain in the right lower abdomen since 5 days, diarrhoea and nausea. There was no fever or muscular guarding, and no signs of inflammation in the blood screening. An ultrasound and a CT-scan of the abdomen showed an ovoid, fatty mass compatible with an appendagitis epiploica. This self-limiting disease does not need treatment.
