case_images: A contrast-enhanced CT scan was performed, revealing an inhomogeneous, irregular fat density mass measuring 20 x 18 x 25 cm localized to the right side of the abdomen (Figure 1).
case_images: Computed tomography scan-axial view demonstrating fat density mass extending up to the defect in right inguinal canal (red arrow head).
