Left lumbar hernia, with omental fat protruding as content is noted. Defect measuring 25 mm in diameter.
There is also protrusion of omental fat through a defect in the left posterior rectus sheath, consistent with an incidental hernia here.
A few non-enhancing simple cortical cysts are seen at both kidneys with maximum diameter of 25 mm. Degenerative changes as osteophytosis are seen at the lumbar spine.

Left lumbar hernia (Petit hernia).
Additional incidental left posterior rectus sheath hernia
