Abstract
The fat accumulation most frequently seen in the peridiaphragmatic areas represents herniations of abdominal fat or epicardial fat pad. We present a patient with a large fatty mass after 10 months of corticosteroid therapy in which computed tomography demonstrated omental vessels, thus proving that it was omental herniation through Morgagni's foramen.
