Abstract
Laparoscopic examination of a 77-year-old woman revealed two peritoneal loose bodies connected to fatty appendices on the rectosigmoid colon and resected at the stalks. The peritoneal loose bodies were found to be fat-containing masses on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, and postoperative pathological examination revealed fat degeneration tissue with or without fibrous outer layers.
