Omental tumors are most commonly found in the pediatric population, with hemangiomas being one of the rarest types. These tumors can occur in any organ, with a higher prevalence in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Although they are extremely rare, omental tumors, including hemangiomas, often involve the greater omentum. We present the case of a 70-year-old male patient that presented to our hospital with abdominal pain, distension, and inability to pass stool. After histopathological analysis we confirmed a mixed cavernous as well as capillary hemangioma of the omentum.
