Mesentery8

• The greater omentum develops from the dorsal mesentery that connects the stomach to the posterior abdominal wall. (wikipedia.org)
• Consequently, the blind-ended sac (also called the lesser sac) formed by the dorsal mesentery is brought inferiorly, where it assumes its final position as the greater omentum. (wikipedia.org)

• The greater omentum (also the great omentum, omentum majus, gastrocolic omentum, epiploon, or, especially in animals, caul) is a large apron-like fold of visceral peritoneum that hangs down from the stomach. (wikipedia.org)
• The greater omentum is larger than the lesser omentum, which hangs down from the liver to the lesser curvature. (wikipedia.org)
• The common anatomical term "epiploic" derives from "epiploon", from the Greek epipleein, meaning to float or sail on, since the greater omentum appears to float on the surface of the intestines. (wikipedia.org)

(wikipedia.org)
• The phrenicosplenic ligament is part of the greater omentum. (wikipedia.org)
• The right and left gastroepiploic arteries (also known as gastroomental) provide the sole blood supply to the greater omentum. (wikipedia.org)
• The right and left gastroepiploic arteries anastomose within the two layers of the anterior greater omentum along the greater curvature of the stomach. (wikipedia.org)
• The greater omentum (gastrocolic ligament) is like an apron with 4 layers of peritoneum (often fused). (medscape.com)
• The greater omentum then continues inferiorly from the stomach, hanging from it like a curtain.The peritoneum has a convoluted course that requires visualization for a complete understanding, so study the following resources to avoid taking a wrong turn. (dewandhoney.com)

Abdomen4

Metastasis2

• No evidence of tumor was identified in adnexa, uterus or omentum in microscopy, but only GCT metastasis was detected in Douglas space peritoneal nodules. (researchsquare.com)
• Metastasis to the pelvic peritoneum or omentum, independent of uterine myometrial invasion and lung metastases, is extremely rare in invasive mole. (biomedcentral.com)

Ovary4

• The term "ovarian cancer" is often used to describe cancers that begin in the cells in the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum. (cancer.net)
• GAS has a much poorer prognosis than HPV-associated cervical adenocarcinoma, with propensity for presentation at advanced stage and wide dissemination to unusual sites such as the ovary, omentum and peritoneum. (nih.gov)
• Ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer are diseases in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissue covering the ovary or lining the fallopian tube or peritoneum. (hoacny.com)
• Cancer sometimes begins in the peritoneum and spreads to the ovary. (hoacny.com)

Lymph1

• The cancer has spread beyond the pelvis to the lymph nodes, possibly those near the peritoneum, but not to distant sites. (medicalnewstoday.com)

Fold1

• One or more of the preceding sentences incorporates text in the public domain from the 20th edition of Gray's Anatomy (1918) The phrenosplenic ligament (lienophrenic ligament or phrenicolienal ligament) is a double fold of peritoneum that connects the thoracic diaphragm and spleen.
