Keywords:
Hepatogastric ligament,, Tuberculosis
Abstract
Hepatogastric ligament is a component of hepatogastric compartment. It is found to be usually involved in patients with complicated pancreatitis. In such cases, pancreatic pseudocyst is a common presentation. Malignant lesions present as follicular dendritic cell sarcoma. This involves hepatogastric ligament. Such cases have also been reported in the literature to date. However, tubercular lesions are rarely observed in these cases. The authors have reported a tubercular lesion in
hepatogastric ligament. It appears as a giant cystic collection.
