Abstract
- Surgical lesions of the falciform ligament are rare, but most often present clinically as a cystic abdominal mass, and less often an abscess. A falciform ligament lesion can present as an acute abdomen, when a cyst undergoes torsion or becomes abscessed. Secondary inflammation of the falciform ligament may seed from an infection in the gallbladder, liver or umbilicus. Here, a case of primary abscess of the falciform ligament is reported, with a review of the literature.
