Tuber omentale

Definition

Antoine Micheau

the omental tuberosity of the pancreas (tuber omentale pancreatis) refers to the rounded or slightly raised area on the cranial surface of the body of pancreas where it comes into contact with the lesser omentum, near of the body of the pancreas.

It is most commonly described in ruminants, but similar features may be noted in other species.
