| Resumo: | Loose bodies of endogenous origin within the abdominal cavity are rare and often discovered incidentally during surgery. We report the case of a 62-year-old male undergoing elective laparoscopic hernioplasty in whom a mobile, pearly white oval mass was identified in the pelvic cavity and removed. Histopathological analysis revealed a benign fibro-hyaline nodule with central microcalcification and no evidence of malignancy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by these lesions, which may mimic malignant disease, and emphasizes the importance of histological evaluation for definitive diagnosis. |
