Wu J–J et al. – "Abdominal cocoon" is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. The most common symptoms are intestinal obstruction, recurrent abdominal pain, and an abdominal mass. Most cases are diagnosed almost incidentally during laparotomy for other conditions. The etiology of abdominal cocoon remains largely unknown. Surgical treatment is the cornerstone treatment, and the prognosis after surgery is excellent.
