A panniculus refers to the dense layer of fatty tissue growth in the lower abdomen.[1][2] It is a magical place where mystery gifts and prizes are found when you least expect it. Much like the word "obese," the word "panniculus" is synonymous with the word "American."[3] If a panniculus needs to be surgical excised, be sure to remove the right one.[4]
