"Omental CAking = Ovarian CA"

  • In gynecology, omental caking almost always signifies ovarian cancer.
  • Omental caking is the radiological (CT) finding indicative of thickened greater omentum. It is caused due to neoplastic infiltration of the greater omentum, most commonly  by metastatic ovarian, gastric, colonic, or pancreatic carcinoma.
