title: Unusual course of epiploic appendicitis.
abstract: Epiploic appendicitis is a benign and self-limited disease, due to inflammation of the epiploic appendices. The diagnosis is established by imaging techniques, avoiding treatments, interventions and unnecessary hospitalizations. Management is conservative. Complications are rare and chronicity is exceptional.
