Abstract
Peritoneal loose bodies are usually small, white or pale gray, pea-shaped objects with a smooth glistening surface, which lie free in the peritoneal cavity. They rarely cause symptoms and are usually found incidentally during laparotomy or autopsy. We herein report a patient with two giant peritoneal loose bodies that were found during laparotomy for partial small bowel obstruction.
