Abstract

We present the case of a 77-year-old male with a history of prostate cancer. Follow up PET-CT and contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated a small peritoneal loose body or "mouse" in the pelvis. This is an uncommon, benign, asymptomatic finding which is usually incidentally discovered. The significance of being aware of this entity is to distinguish it from metastasis, especially in patients with known abdominal and pelvic malignancies.
