Omental cake

In radiology, omental cake is a term used to describe an abnormally thickened appearance of the greater omentum.^[1] Typically, it is caused by infiltration of metastatic tumours arising from the stomach, ovary and colon. The appearance can also result due to tuberculous peritonitis.^[2]
