Abstract
A 65-yr-old man presented with upper abdominal pain and fever due to a primary abscess of the omentum. The finding of microscopic-size foreign particles within the abscess raised the possibility of antecedent clinically silent perforation of the bowel or appendix. Surgical resection and antibiotic therapy were curative.
